When a document is opened (directly from documents folder) OpenOffice opens correctly but the toolbars icons are corrupted. Solved MacOS will not open OpenOffice. OpenOffice won't open from the main OpenOffice launch icon and The Apache OpenOffice User Forum is an user to user help and discussion forum for exchanging information and tips with other users of Apache OpenOffice, the open source office suite. I then for some reason tried to open an existing document from the documents menu and low and behold it opened up correctly albeit with the toolbar icons still corrupted. I tried lots of different ideas to try and solve this problem but to no avail. When clicking on the OpenOffice seagull icon in Launchpad OpenOffice started and then immediately crashed with the message ‘OpenOffice quit unexpectedly’ and an error report (attached)

I then completely uninstalled OpenOffice and used a cleaning app to make sure all elements were correctly removed (including user preferences I think) then reinstalled a fresh download of OpenOffice directly from the AOO website.
I did some research on this forum and found that Java was required so I installed both the recommended legacy version and a new version and made sure the 'use Java runtime environment' was ticked but neither made any difference. I upgraded my iMac from El Capitan to Sierra and found that the toolbar icons in OpenOffice word and OpenOffice spreadsheet documents were corrupted (see attached small screenshot)
