You will find a hidden file with a name like ".~lock.YourFileName.odt#" in the file directory. Delete this file and all should be well. Note that this file is typically a few hundred bytes in size, whereas the actual file thhat owns ir will be a minimum of about 6-7 KBytes in size (in your case I would expect much larger). If you are in doubt, please get a computer experienced person to assist. Note that the instructions given in another reply to this query (by dmcgarr...@optonline.net) are correct for linux, but you are using Windowswhere they won't work. Such lock files can be left over after a program or system crash, or sometimes after too speedy a close down of the computer.

In case you are not familiar with the command line, let us assume that it is in your Documents directory, and it is called "longfile.doc" Open a console window (don't know how that's done in your distro). Then type: (make sure the spaces are like I show) cd /home/yourusername/Documents ls -la longfile.doc (just to make sure it's there) chmod 664 longfile.doc Then you can do ls -la longfile.doc, and on the left side should read -rw-rw-r-- That means that user (you), and your group, can read and write to it, and the whole world can read it. If, when you try to run the command you get "not permitted," you will have to su to root first, or use sudo, if your distro is set up that way. (sudo chmod 664 longfile.doc [enter your password] ) --doug -- Blessed are the peacemakers..for they shall be shot at from both sides. --A.M.Greeley - To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@openoffice.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@openoffice.apache.org
Sudden? Conversion of a file to a read only file
A file I have updating daily (quite long, about 340 pages) has inexplicably for reasons I cannot understand converted to a Read Only file. I have tried to get around this by copy the file from another folder where did not convert to a Read Only to overwrite this file. It stays Read Only. I have erased it and copied from my other folder and it becomes a Read Only. Any idea of what is going on and how can I stop this?

This is a users mailing list - we can't do anything about it. Use your backup of those files. Am 03.12.2013 14:43, schrieb HANNU PUTKIRANTA: > Open office 4 destroyed my very important calc-files.

Good progress on confusing advertisements on download page
Please take a look at this new blog post from SourceForge: http://sourceforge.net/blog/sourceforge-blockthis-initiative-update/ It looks like they are taking the ad issue seriously. They have culled 20%+ of the ads and instituted a process for communities to report new misleading ads. I think this will lead to a better experience for our users. Thanks to SourceForge (and Roberto) for listening to their users and responding to feedback! A question for us is: How do we want to report misleading ads in the future? Do we need any process on our side? Do we want to track the reports in Bugzilla? Or do we want to just report these as individuals, possibly leading to redundant reports? Maybe record these in BZ (where adding image attachments and de-duping is easy) and then report to SF with a link to the BZ issue?
