Downloaded and installed first v5.3.0.1
then this one - both from 
http://www.libreoffice.org/download/libreoffice-fresh/?type=deb-x86_64&version=5.3.0&lang=en-US

got the same problem with both:
cannot save the document, get error "error in writing sub-document styles.xml"
cannot recover from this

Calc does not have the same problem, nor does Impress.

It is not in Word 2010 format, but older binary .doc.

What is the problem with this, then? I can save it to .doc and .odt.

@Buovjaga
You are correct, the one .doc is old format. It also works when saving to .docx.

What is the problem?

I am using Linux Mint Cinnamon, it seems you are using Windows. I cannot save ti to .odt. Also, I see that you used v5.4...

Works in 5.2

I can check on Linux later.

Comment 8 Elmar 2017-01-24 16:29:28 UTC
This very strange.

I did a purge
(sudo apt-get remove --purge libreoffice5*)

Then installed Linux 64-bit Version: 5.4.0.0.alpha0+

Now, Writer starts, shows the splash, but does not appear.

If I end process soffice.bin, then calc, impress and even base start fine.

I found the information that autotbl.fmt determines the Writer Autoformat Styles table styles.
