------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Wed Apr 30 21:02:40 +0000 2008 ------- I am following the procedures on page 345/6 of the Open Office 2.x Writer guide "Creating one file from a master document and its subdocuments". I have created a master document and I want to create an editable .doc document. I proceed as follows:- 1 Open the master document. 2 Click File>Export (a window headed "Export" appears. The manual suggests that I click "Export" but the window which I see has only "Save" and "Cancel"), I type in the file name, select the File Format as .odt, and click "Save". The document is saved as filename.odt. 3 I close the master document and open the .odt version, click Update Links "All". 4 I click Edit> but "Links" is greyed out so I am unable to break the links as described in 5) on page 346 of the manual. The .odt file retains the same write protection as the .odm - the subdocuments are not editable. This write protection is also passed on to the .doc file that I produce by saving the .odt file as a .doc file. By chance I have found that I can get round the problem by following steps 1 to 3 above and then 4 Click Format>Sections then with "links" checked click "Remove" repeatedly until all the subdocuments have disappeared. The links have now gone and the file is editable. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
