Help! I have some very important data saved in Open Office Writer.....I am trying to add a line to the file, but somehow the damned thing is now "read only"...I did not request this, so how can I change it back to a regular editable file? And while I'm at it, what is with the damned frames around text lines? They pop up whenever I try to ad a new line of info without my requesting it....this program has some very annoying quirks that I have no use for...Free or not, I need a reliable place to keep license numbers, credit card info etc. I only got as far as one page of data, then the whole thing became uneditable and is now "read only"...This is a crappy piece of unruly software!

There really is no need for profanity of any kind on this list except to expose your character.
First, what OS? There could be a permissions problem if the file was saved while logged in from a different account.
Second, there is an icon named Edit File which you may have inadvertently deselected. If this is the case, you will receive the Read Only warning. In either case, you should have been offered the opportunity to save the file under a different name and proceed. Did that happen?
These are the best guesses I can make without further information. DougT --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
