Toshiba is old, has windows xp. I dont know how to check if it has read only
permissions. But oo wont let me change it, and calls it an archival file. And
when I tried to print it out at Fedex office, I couldnt. I had to go back to
oo and save it as pdf in order to print it out. Also, when I installed oo, I
had to put in a patch and re-install it. I didnt specify anything should be
saved as archival.
I uninstalled oo and am now ready to redo whatever. Should I just re download
it and try it again?

and all the files are saved read only.
All I did was
- buy a new hp15 f039 machine with windows 8.1
- downloaded open office (just like 3 days ago)
- created a new simple text file (well, after I created a file with photos in
it, so I thought
Id be simpler)
(just hit new, typed in two sentences, and hit save as)
whether I save it as odt or doc or whatever, when I try to reopen it, no
changes are allowed.
That is all I did, I didnt customize the installation or anything.
Is it me, windows 8.1, or what? I have an old open office on my old
toshiba, works
fine.
Thanks
Thanks for your detailed problem description. Does the Toshiba have
Windows 8.1 also?
Assuming that the problem only happens on one computer, I would like to
double-check exactly what you mean by read only: do you mean that the
file was saved to disk with read-only permissions? Or do you ONLY mean
that OpenOffice itself won't allow you to change the file, and that
read-only appears in the title bar?
