------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Fri Apr 20 16:19:38 +0000 2007 ------- A classic Windows problem is to be low on heap space. Programs fail in various ways when the (system wide) heap is near exhaustion. I monitor my heap availability with a shell script to prevent exhaust and have noticed a correlation between low heap available and an error saving files in OpenOffice.org calc. After exceeding approximately 92% heap used and then trying to save a Calc file, I get the error message "Error saving the document MLS-6.ods: Write Error. The file could not be written." When heap usage is decreased, the file still cannot be saved. The only way that I have found to recover at this point is to copy the entire worksheet and paste it into a new blank worksheet. I also observed the behavior in OOo 2.0 and OOo 2.1.
