Some more information . If I try to open an .odt file in File Explorer with Libre Office, I get "locked for editing by unknown user." I can however open the file with Wordpad (though this is no use for editing.) I can save a new file to one of the problem directories with Wordpad, and also re-open it with wordpad. However, if I try to open the new file with Libro Office, I can't.
Hope this makes more sense to someone than it does to me!
