After selection, get the blue circle then LibreOffice exits. restart & recover file ok. Changed from doc to odt. no different.
Have same version on Desktop and menu comes up fine.
I am thinking may try re-install, currupt file somewhere ?

Ctrl+F12 is Insert Table, Ctrl+F2 is more fields.
It is probably corruption of your user profile, re-installing LO probably won’t change anything as user profile is retained during installation. Best to back it up and reset it, so close LO.
In File Explorer (Win+E), in the View tab, tick the box Hidden items.
Navigate to C:\Users\[username]\AppData\Roaming\LibreOffice\4 right-click and drag the folder user to a blank space just below and release, click the context menu Copy here and it will create a copy of the user folder in case things go sour. Leave folder open for now
Reopen LO in Safe mode and tick the box Restore from backup > Restore user configuration to the last known working state and press button Apply changes and Restart. If it all works the carry on with using LO like everybody else.
If not then try the button Reset to factory settings > Reset settings and user interface modifications. This should fix most issues. If not the Reset entire user profile will reset everything back to factory settings.
If you did select the entire user profile option then all your autocorrect and templates will have gone. This is why we saved a copy. A new user folder will be created. Drag your data folders back into the new user folder: Autocorrect, Autotext, backup, template, wordbook.
Hope this helps. Cheers, Al
Thanks Earnest, the first solution got it going.

So I was correct in assuming a currupt file somewhere.
Cheers
This is no alternate solution to your problem. Though (positive) feedback is always appreciated, you’re on a Question & Answer site, not a forum. So, please, use the more link at bottom of your “non-answer” (only you as owner can see this link) and “repost” as comment under @EarnestAl’s answer.
