I had the same problem, so I've by passed the oowriter which starts open office and I'm now using a direct path /usr/lib/openoffice/program/soffice which brings up the help contents. My guess is there is a problem in the oowriter script or the oofice script which is linked to oopadmin. Home this helps.
