That won't solve the problem. The file that needs to be deleted is not in=

That solution requires the use of the command line in Terminal. There is =
a simpler (safer for=20
people who do not know how to use the command line) method.

Delete the file "org.openoffice.script.savedState".
It is located this folder: /Users/<user name>/Library/Saved Application S=
tate
The user/library folder is hidden in Lion.
In finder, Option-click the Go menu to locate the user library.

And it will solve the problem. Deleting the user profile won't.
