Open a command prompt/terminal window and type java -version to verify that you have a Java runtime environment.
In LibreOffice/Apache OpenOffice, choose Tools – Options, OpenOffice.org – Advanced/Java and ensure that there is a Java runtime environment in the list and that the checkbox is selected.
You can download Java from https://java.com/

First try restarting LibreOffice/Apache OpenOffice.
In rare cases this does not help – this problem has been seen in some versions of Ubuntus installation of OpenOffice.org. In that case, open the Extension Manager in OpenOffice.org, disable the extension and reenable it. Now restart OpenOffice.org, and the filters should appear. If this still does not help, try to install any other extension and restart OpenOffice.org.
