Turn on viewing of hidden files (how depends on your operating system) and in the directory in which your file is stored, look for a filename like .~lock.Namlö%201.odt# This file should have a size of a few hundred bytes, whereas the real file, Namlö%201.odt will be much bigger - at least 6KB, possibly much more. Delete the lock file, then restart OpenOffice. All should now be well. -- Rory O'Farrell <ofarr...@iol.ie> --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@openoffice.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@openoffice.apache.org
