I have a document that I work on every day, but since this morning I
cannot open it. It's a complex document (styles, tables, graphics) but
not particularly big (770 kb). I'm using Openoffice 3.1 on Linux
(Debian). (This is not the official Debian release but was installed
directly from the Openoffice site, as the Debian releases are a
considerable distance behind.)
When I launch the document it seems to open properly and displays the
first page. There is no cursor in it, however, no matter how long I
wait, nor can I place one with the mouse pointer. The scroll bars
likewise are frozen. All I can do is force quit. Other Openoffice
documents open and save properly.
Are you running on a dual core CPU? This sounds a little like the
problem I reported recently (on Novell/openSUSE OOo, but has since been
confirmed on the official OOo as well):

If... if this is the same as what you're experiencing (best indication
is one of the CPU cores will be running at 100% until you kill
soffice.bin), I've found that opening the affected document in another
OOo install... for example, in Linux/OOo or Windows/OOo installed in
VirtualBox (configured as single core virtual CPU), doing your edits
there (and saving), you can move back to your main/host OS and work with
the doc again.
