Now, it started randomly making duplicates of the several docs I am working on …
I need a lot more information from you before I can help. Did you recently (perhaps by accident) enable Writer → File → Versions? Read about file versions in Help → Index or in User Guides (PDF) or searching for topics about this in the Writer Forum. Does Writer say that your files are read-only?

What procedure do you use to determine that you have duplicates of documents? Explain in detail the steps you take and tell us why you say that you have duplicates. Are you using Finder to show these duplicates? Are these documents in iCloud? Are you using TimeMachine? Finder, iCloud, and TimeMachine are Apple features, not part of OpenOffice. The latter is Apple's backup management tool. It certainly makes copies of files as you change them so older copies can be restored. This is normal. Finder → Help → MacOS Help explains how to use Finder, iCloud, and TimeMachine. Explain any changes that you've made recently to your MacOS system, even if they don't seem relevant to this problem.
