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 and copycmd-N (or on windows: ctrl-N) to make a new https://forum.openoffice.org/en/forum/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=41278 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. The bug says this:"The key thing to do to avoid this bug is to not http://toddsnotes.blogspot.com/2011/03/neooffice-openoffice-saving-document.html 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 was missing when the access() attempt failed. My RHEL5 distro will clean up older files in /tmp. A quick touch of the missing file then allowed the write to succeed.
I got the following error when trying to save the document: Error in saving document Error in writing sub.document content.xml How can I repair this document? It contains information that I https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/44695 can't afford to lose. I also checked my backup file & it has the same problem.

It is: Error saving the document (name of document): Error in writing sub-document content.xml. It appears that the context.xml file in my document is corrupt. I've tried converting to a MS Word document then back again. While I now the document in Word (.doc) format I would like to convert it to the odt format. Shane Fagan (shanepatrickfagan) said on 2008-09-10: #2 To error saving the convert a doc into an odt. You open the file and go to save as. Then choose odt. Marcus (mark-westrick) said on 2008-09-10: #3 The document is saved as a .odt but when I try to save it I get the error codes given above. Marcus (mark-westrick) said on 2008-09-10: #4 I have tried to use the .doc version of the corrupted file with no success. 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!
