I finally bit the bullet and restarted the computer (I hate that because I have so many things going on). Afterwards the problem was solved except for the Default.ott.old file (my renaming). Writer happily opened the 'corrupt' documents and, after I renamed Default.ott.old back to Default.ott it opens without bitching about the missing file. All is right in my world again. And as if it was a sign from the computer gods, as soon as the problem was resolved the morning clouds parted and the sun came out. Now I'm going for a walk to celebrate my victory over evil bugs. I do wish I knew what happened to cause this. It would be good to let the devs know, but alas, this will probably remain a mystery. -- To unsubscribe e-mail to: [email protected] Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
