After dropping of OpenOffice.org, Archlinux switched to LibreOffice from the Document foundation. As this was pushed through a regular update, I went on with it. However, after some time when I tried opening Office files, I was having trouble opening them at all.
I thought of checking the wiki for the procedure of installation. I reinstalled it using the following command:
pacman -S libreoffice-common libreoffice-{base,
calc,draw,impress,math,writer,kde4}
pacman -S libreoffice-extension-{pdfimport,presentation-minimizer,presenter-screen,report-builder,wiki-publisher,ct2n,hunart,numbertext,oooblogger,typo,watch-window,diagram}After that, I was able to get things working again. However, interestingly, each time I had upgraded my system after the switch to LibreOffice, using
pacman -SyuI had seen these packages were installed. Now there is only one issue, tooltips are just black rectangles.

It always worked, libreoffice has been split into split packages. So thats why you only had libreoffice-common.
So the rest has to be reinstalled seperate.
As for the black bar, this is a bug upstream aka the libreoffice devs we cant fix it as archlinux.
@Anonymous: I think when I said these packages were installed, I meant the split packages that I reinstalled.
I think its counter-intuitive that Libreoffice is installed that way...or I just missed the prompt to install other libreoffice packages :)
Anyways, I'm using Archlinux and the tooltips are fine.
