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, Gael B. gbusine...@yahoo.com
