LibreOffice Writer Locks Up Linux Lite 6.0 On Lenovo Thinkpad T61 Notebook, why?

Linux Lite 6.0 includes LibreOffce in it’s operating system. When I open Writer or Calc the computer looks up and I have to reboot it to make it functional again. Any other reports of this problem and solutions for it? Any ideas are welcome. Thanks so much.

You may have a corrupted user profile. Reset it. See LibreOffice user profile - The Document Foundation Wiki for help. Note: you rename the old profile, so your user settings are safe, and you can later copy them from the old profile to the new one. Do that when LibreOffice is not running.
