Fw: Question relating to a problem in Open Office

2015-11-15 Thread Howard Morris (aka Col Boogie)
Check the folder the file is in. Normally you will find the same file name with 
a prefix of ~ added. the other file name is how Open office knows it was being 
edited. You have 2 choices: 1) Open the file with the ~ prefix – this should 
contain some of the changes made during the last edit session. 2) Delete  the ~ 
prefix file. This loses all your changes but takes away locked for editing 
message.

Sir
Would like to ask a question relating to a problem faced by me in Open Office.

Whilst working in a text document in Open Office, power trip forced the 
computerto shut down.
On opening the document in which I was working the following message pops up
Document Locked for Editing 

Question : How to remove this feature - Locked for Editing?

Soundaram,

I have forwarded your message to dev@ openoffice.apache.org where you may find 
better responss.  

The remedy is to find the lock file in the same folder as the document that was 
open at the time of interruption.  It will have a similar name to the one that 
was open.  Delete that file.

You may find there are other difficulties to deal with.  These can be discussed 
and resolved on the dev@ oo.a.o list.

 - Dennis
