Ok, you did upgrade to 11.04 before?

The default office app would have been LibreOffice (which is a recent fork
from OpenOffice, due to Oracle who bought Sun that 'owned' the OpenOffice
project, became hard-@$$'ed about it; but has subsequently seen the error of
their corporate ways and donated OpenOffice to the eclipse foundation...
LibreOffice IS essentially openoffice, with more updates, and many of the
original OpenOffice developers)

But LibreOffice should look exactly the same, and work on exactly the same
files???
Unless you used some other program like AbiWord, or GnomeOffice...
Anyway, IF LibreOffice was indeed the problem, why didn't you just install
OpenOffice from Software Center...?
