haven't saved it. But when you try to save,an error dialog comes up saying "Write Error", with no additional information...You try changing the file name, saving to a different directory, checking disk space.. everything looks fine, but it won't save. What to do? Quit it, and have faith that the 'Recover files' dialog will bring it back?Copy your document, or at least the changes (f you can), into textedit or another program?To encounter this situation is disconcerting, to say the least.After a little searching,NeoOffice bug #http://bugzilla.neooffice.org/bug.php?op=show&bugid=3293
Easy solution:from the existing document,select all https://forum.openoffice.org/en/forum/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=16921 and copycmd-N (or on windows: ctrl-N) to make a new window.paste -- you now have a copy of your document.Save this new one.For me, these errors happened after starting NeoOffice a few days ago (12) and then deciding to save some 'untitled' documents I had created and entered minor amounts of data/text into. They hadn't been saved previously, and had been opened for several days. http://toddsnotes.blogspot.com/2011/03/neooffice-openoffice-saving-document.html The bug says this:"The key thing to do to avoid this bug is to not keep and .od* document open for more than a day or two. If you periodically save a file, close it, and reopen it, you can avoid this bug."Another note is "Update: in this instance, with Writer giving the error, I was able to Save As in ANY format EXCEPT .sxw, .stw, .odt, and .ott."Another link mentions something about tmp files, which on the mac seem to be somewhere under a path like $ set | grep /var/folderTMPDIR=/var/folders/GX/GXRi3TKjExSdAlvXgP45k++++TI/-Tmp-/some OS cleanup process could be removing files from here. I've not tried tracing the process (ptrace/strace) since I have a workaround, but it seems plausible enough.apparently this has been going onsince 2006:http://openoffice.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=69993
Posted by Todd Kaufmann at 1:54 PM 1 comment: nobody said... I recently got this write error in OO.org. The copy / paste method would have changed too many things (some fonts changed).What seems to have happened is that there is a file in /tmp (I'm on Linux) that OO insists exists. I found which one by using: strace -p -e accessThen trying to save the file revealed which /tmp file

I am able to open the document in both Word & OpenOffice format on a windows machine but am unable to do so on my ubuntu box. I've also discovered that the backup is also corrupted making recovery even more critical. Not sure if my OpenOffice program is corrupt or there are other issues. I did see a web page that told you how to recover a file by editing the content.xml file with the odt file but I have not been able to find that web page again using Google. Any help would be greatly appreciated in recovering this file!
