Help! I have been using OOo2 (something) and had a multipage document that I
edited often, added to often, shifted content from page to page, etc.
After I ungraded to OOo3 (something) that document became "read only". And that
is exactly what it is! Now, I can do nothing but read it.
Incident
Just wondering how a person can create a document that will allow you to
enter a start date and and it will set dates for things we need done at
specific dates after that start date? Can you help me with some
guidelines. I have been playing around with different forms but maybe
that isn't the way

Check under Format; do you have defined print range(s)?
For spreadsheet, printing has always been a problem to many people.
First item you need to check is the print range.
Choose menu View ->Page Break Preview
If the page is not selected, then its not going to print.
