I can save also, I just can't modify, i.e. it isn't a file-system read only. I can open the same file in OOo 2.3-Linux or OOo 2.4-Windows and edit it. It only seems affected on OOo 2.4-Linux, but on both of the Ubuntu machines on my desk. > > I don't see anything obvious here: > https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/openoffice.org/ Right, which is why I asked here. > > I'm running i386, BTW Same here. Here is a screen shot of an attempt to edit a pre-existing DOC. Notice the error, and the greyed boxes in the formatting toolbar. http://artstuff.doesntexist.org:8001/music/OOO/OOO-ReadOnly.png Here is a screen shot of an odt version of the document that is editable. Notice the non-greyed selections on the formatting toolbar. This document was constructed by selecting and copying the text from the foregoing doc and saving as ODT. If I simply save the DOC as ODT, it remains read-only. Likewise, if I create a new document via copy and paste and save it as a DOC, the new DOC is opened uneditable. http://artstuff.doesntexist.org:8001/music/OOO/OOO-odt.png I think its strange that this is happening on two separate Ubuntu Hardy computers, but nowhere else. But not nearly as strange as it not happening to anyone else. Attachment:
