Try this:

1. Create a new temp directory (anywhere) and give it the name tempooo
so that you recognize it when you are looking at in explorer.

2. In OOo: Tools|Options|OOo|Paths click on 'Temporary files' then
"Edit" and change the tmp path to that new tempooo directory that you've
just created.

3. Close OOo and open a new (or old) document and see if the problem
reoccurs.

On Windows systems there are often background jobs that go out and clean
the default /tmp directory(s) on a regular basis, if they get too full,
or for who knows what reason. As I understand it, the most common
problem is if someone experiences a shutdown, hibernation, suspend,
etc., before the document is saved. The default OOo keeps whatever you
are doing in this default /tmp directory, if the directory gets cleaned
on reboot, awake, or by some default process OOo loses the link to that
tmp file. So when you go to try and save it, OOo say's that it can't
write out the file. However, when you copy the file to an new document,
a new link is created and all is well again.

The obvious fix for this would be for OOo to create a 'tempooo'
directory on install and set the path for that instead of using the
default OS /tmp path/directory. It's been brought up several times in
the past, including bugs I think, but OOo seems to think that the OS
/tmp directory is just fine...

If that's *not* the problem, then at least we've eliminated one possible
cause of you not being able to save the files. So please give it a try.
