Two things first: 1) what operating system are you using, 2) what version of OOo are you using? Windows XP and the latest OOo as I just downloaded on Monday last week. ALL WEEK I HAD NO PROBLEM until yesterday. Suggestion: try to do a "Save As" and see if it will save as a MS Word document. Also try to do a "Save As" as an OOo document (.odt) using a different file name. I suspect that somewhere along the line that file locking has kicked in.When I do the save or save as I get that error message I'm going to select all, copy and paste and go back to MS Word where I've NEVER had this or any sort of problem. I only went to OOo because my publisher has it for some reason. cc'd to Olin. Please *only* reply to [email protected]
