I had a similar problem to this a while back. The problem is that at some point OpenOffice has closed/crashed whilst a file was still open. When this happens it tries to preserve what it can of the file, and then attempts to recover it when it is next opened. You need to either use the recovery dialogue that you are presented with (in your screenshot) to recover the file, and then save it if successful.

Or, if that does not work you need to find the recovery stub that Open Office is using, and delete it. This is usually found in your home directory or one of it's subdirectories. It usually starts with a ~ symbol and should contain at least part of the original file name.
