Bug#205868: File | New... and New toolbar button/menu don't work.
The submenus work fine for me here.
Can you try moving ~/.sversionrc and ~/.openoffice out of the way and
restarting openoffice?
$ cd
$ mv .sversionrc .sversionrc.1
$ mv .openoffice .openoffice.1
$ openoffice
If it now works, there was a problem in your user profile.
If it doesn't work, maybe there is a problem in your installation? Try
these commands to check that no files have been changed:
cd /; md5sum -c /var/lib/dpkg/info/openoffice.org*.md5sums
cd /; md5sum -c /var/lib/dpkg/info/openoffice.org-bin*.md5sums
If all files are intact, you will see no ouptut from the commands. If you
have turned on prelinking, you won't be able to do the check for
openoffice.org-bin and I'd suggest you just try reinstalling the packages.
