I did an internet search and a LibraOffice error solution might solve your problem if you are on Windows (LibreOffice and Open Office share some basic code): When I had this problem just now, it was due to my having activated controlled folder access in the ransomware protection settings of Windows Security. (I suppose we shouldn't be surprised Microsoft includes LibreOffice among "hostile applications.") When I deactivated this, the problem went away. The fastest way to get to this setting is to enter "Ransomware protection" or "Controlled folder access" in the Windows 10 search bar.

Have gone through the forum but nothing there cures the problem. Have looked into windows defender and cannot see where I can allow open office access to folders. Is this location hidden somewhere? Any other ideas? Thanks for your help and looking forward to hearing from you.

You need to tell it to allow OpenOffice have access to folders in which it is to write. See [url] https://forum.openoffice.org/en/forum/viewtopic.php?f=74&t=97507[/url] for help on this.
