Please file a new bug if you don't find one that matches yours. If the
developers think it is the same as another then they will mark it as a
duplicate. But at least it will be on record.

You could try reloading/reinstalling or loading and using the
Openoffice.org version (http://openoffice.org). However you can also try
copying your ~/.openoffice.org2/ directory to someplace safe and then
deleting ~/.openoffice.org2/ and restarting OOo. OOo should then create
a new ~/.openoffice.org2/ with defaults.

Can you please open
~/.openoffice.org2/user/registry/data/org/openoffice/Office/Recovery.xcu
in the text editor and post the results here? Note: if it is a huge file
then just look for a section that is similar to the following and post that.

</node>
 <node oor:name="AutoSave">
  <prop oor:name="Enabled" oor:type="xs:boolean">
   <value>false</value>
  </prop>
 </node>
 <node oor:name="RecoveryInfo">
  <prop oor:name="Crashed" oor:type="xs:boolean">
   <value>true</value>

Sure~
