This is very strange. If you receive a message that a document is in use when you attempt to open it, this often indicates that the document was not closed fully a previous time and the lock marker (a file) that Apache OpenOffice placed there has not been removed. It should not matter whether you are in Safe Mode or not. Those "lock" files have the same name as the document file except "~lock." is added on the front and a "#" is added at the end. See if you have any of those, and delete them. In the properties for a Windows folder, you will often see a black square for the read-only attribute. That just means "some" files are read only. For individual files, check the properties for those files. If you can't clear a read-only flag on a file, it may be that you are not using the account that created the file. You may need to be administrator to change it in that case. It can also be that Windows did not clear a lock that it set when a document was opened for editing. These are part of how the file system works. Sometimes it is necessary to completely power down and then start up the Windows PC to have all of those locks cleared. Also, you should always be logged in under the same account when creating and using Apache OpenOffice documents. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the issue.
