I've tried hard to make Writer and Calc and work work for me, I really
have, but this one has me baffled.
XP Pro SP2 OOo 2.4.1
Calc, two sheets in use, first sheet 55 rows long, two columns, a few
Notes:
I added data to two columns, the data in columnA being a URL, and
clicked Save as I have learned to do when I add data slowly to a
program. It's been open for a couple hours total.
First, it warned me there were Notes; I said OK
Then it refused to save, givieng no logical reason other than it would
not save.
I deleted the most recent entry, tried Save again, still refused to
save.
Deleted another row, same thing.
Ctrl-Z'd that data back in and copied it all into Excel before I lost
it; very hard to reproduce. Yes, it gets archived but only nightly.
Closed/reopened Calc and Calc's memory of the file in Recent Documents
didn't exist. Prior to this it has been there (for about two weeks) and
was not pushed out by opening new documents.
Located, opened the .ods file; now it's read-only. Closed, reopened
again:
Still not in Recent Documents list, not read only and actually seems
to be working OK now.
Any thoughts what happened? Is there some relationship to that Notes
message box? Any guesses why it did this and what odds are it will do
it again?
I plan to continue now using Excel, since I know it won't do things like
that, or think so anyway, and I'll keep the Calc file around for
fiddling with.
TIA for your thoughts/advice

The refusal to save is, I think, directly related with the Read-only
status. I believe you either need to use SaveAs with a new fulename or
remove the read-only status, say by using Windows Explorer or some other
file manager: locate the file, right-click on it, select properties,
locate the read-only status box and uncheck it.
