Libre office write won't launch ubuntu 16.4

Libre office write won’t launch ubuntu 16.4 calc works fine but write just will not launch have tried deleating and install again several time but no joy

Hi, I use Ubuntu 16.4 with LibreOffice 5.2 – Writer works normally.
Check your installation process, use the official LO site about instructions/help, download the relevant version of the installation pack(s) according your configuration.

Thanks for your reply. What puzzles me is calc works fine but writer simply will not launch but having said that I’ve downloaded scibus and that won’t run either but I have a boot problem and I think I’ll just re-install the whole thing again.
thanks again
Robert

Another thing to try is to reset your user profile:
