Just updated MacOS to Montana 14.1
Apple calls MacOS 12
Monterey. Apple calls MacOS 14
Sonoma. Apple does not have a
version called
Montana.

Today accessing spreadsheets has proved impossible
I do not use MacOS 14 myself and don't recall seeing others with that problem in the
Mac OSX forum, but you should look there. I moved your topic to that forum. Also review
[Tutorial] Mac FAQ. MacOS 14.1 was released less than a week ago. There is always some risk in installing versions which may not have been tested with OpenOffice. I prefer to let others blaze the trail.

This file is shown as having zero bytes when I attempt to open it
If Finder reports that the file has zero bytes, I doubt if you will be able to use it with OpenOffice. Perhaps this is a result of having iCloud manage the file. Maybe that works fine, maybe it doesn't. Or maybe it works if your Mac is connected to your AppleID and fails when it's not connected. I don't use iCloud for my OpenOffice documents.
Search for iCloud in Mac OSX forum
