        <pre>In addition to posting a sample test file, this is likely a LO user profile
problem--a lot of feature changes to styles and templates from 5.1 -> 6.1
releases.

Fortunately, easy to test newer builds without clobbering your 5.1.x profile.
Perform an administrative "msiexec /a" install in parallel [1] of 6.1.3 using
the TARGETIDR=<path to install> entry and then adjusting the user configuration
to "UserInstallation=$ORIGIN/../Data/settings" in the bootstrap.ini file of the
TARGETDIR program folder.

Might have a little work to adjust things, but once opening cleanly you can
migrate into a new clean user profile.
