I'm using kde and Mandrake Linux 9.1 (and OOo 1.1.4).
My fstab is as in the previous post by Mhac.

Since you mentioned root and read-write permissions, it looks like you have Linux. This is not OpenOffice.org issue but OS issue because it involves file writing to a device. It sure does look annoying but you are barking on the wrong tree, so to speak. :)
If the device is owned by root, then even though you have r-w perms on the files, you are stuck.
Here's a workaround. make sure your usb device is owned by root and belongs to the 'disk' group. mine is like this $ls -l /dev/sda2 brw-rw---- root disk 8, 2 2005-05-08 10:33 /dev/sda2
then in your /etc/fstab make sure that you have an entry similar to this (my usb device is /dev/sda2):
/dev/sda2 /mnt/usb reiser4 noauto,user,rw 0 0
post back the results. Mhac

I loaded a paper from a usb device into OO.o Writer, changed a few things and tried to save it. It wouldn't save onto the usb device. I saved it instead on the hard drive, and from there copied it to the usb device.
The device is owned by root, but all of the documents on that device are owned by me and have write permission.
What is the problem? It is annoying!
