Hello,

I'm using Impress on OpenOffice 3.3. Each time I open a presentation
on Impress, I'm told the file is locked for editing, and given the
choice of opening it read-only or opening a copy for editing. I do the
latter. When I edit the presentation, I can't save it under the same
name (since, after all, it's locked just as if it were still being
used elsewhere) so I have to change the name to save my alterations.

I'm running it on my own computer, with no other users. I always close
Impress when finished with a presentation, and shut down my computer
appropriately.

What would you advise?

Close OpenOffice completely. Don't forget to close the quickstarter. Look into the folder, where your presentation is saved. You should see a small file of kind ".~lock.yourpresentationfilename#". You might need to set the file manager to show hidden files. Delete this file and try whether this solves your problem.

If not, we need some more details about your operating system and the way OpenOffice is installed.

Kind regards
Regina
