Open Office 1.1 upgrade; can't save documents!

[Ed McKnight]

Sounds like you've got a permissions problem of some kind. Possibly your 
old OO was running as root and your current one as you. Look at the 
permissions and ownership on pre-existing files and new ones, and look 
at the directories themselves, too.

As workaround you also might try loading an old file then using "save 
as..." rather than just plain old save.
