I don't have OpenOffice in front of me --so I am just guessing.
As user 'walter':
a) Try to see where the path breaks.
ls -ld /home/walter (should work)
ls -ld /home/walter/.rhopenoffice1.1
ls -ld /home/walter/.rhopenoffice1.1/user
...etc.
do this until you have confirmed the default path reported by openoffice .
b) To add to the excisting path enter
mkdir /home/walter/.rhopenoffice1.1/user/backup/usb
...etc.
(I would expect that OpenOffice has a browser/navigate option to do this from the GUI instead.
c) I wonder if you really want *individual* backup directories for each little project and device. I am guessing that's where OpenOffice stores backups for recovery (if that's the case you may be better off to keep them all in one place, as you rarely have to look at it --but when you have to you know exactly where, even if it's a bit messy)
As I said, I'm just guessing ................... Horst

Now i have a slightly different problem .. the word processor that came with fedo has a default backup path /home/walter/.rhopenoffice1.1/user/backup to this I tried to append usb/storage , later usb/floppy to no avail. then i tried succesively eliminating one term at a time and i always get the message this path does not exist .the place where i did this was in openoffice =>tools=>load-save=>general=>backup....also in /tools/path. any ideas?
