I am using a MacBook Air with the same High Sierra and OpenOffice. My suggestion would be to: 1- Single click on the file you are dealing with to highlight it. 2- Command-I to bring up the information panel 3- At the bottom of the Info panel you will see permissions of who can open, read and write to the file 4- Add the entity you want to open and work with the file.
Hopefully that will do what you want done.
