Although I at first thought that perhaps the lock file was created when I perhaps right clicked when I should have left clicked, when I was careful to only click the right way, I still got lock files.
About every other time I create a new open office spread sheet I get a lock file. I just remove the lockfile and open office works again, but does anyone know of possible reasons lockfiles might be created when I work with open office documents? If someone could tell me what to look for in causes of lockfiles, I might be able to fix the problem by prevention rather than by corrections.
