Anne,

Which version of OOo are you using?

If the file is not confidential, if you like to send it to me off list,
I can try opening it and saving as a document format (rather than
template) and see if that helps. I have OOo 1.1.4 and 1.9.104 available.

Regards

Russell

Hi Anne

Some templates are saved under ~OOo/share/ and you may not (as user)
have write permissions to that directory.

Can you "Save As" under a new name and edit the new copy?
