I seem to be having a problem with Open Office documents created in OO on my laptop (running XP) coming up in read-only mode when transfer them across my samba network onto my linux box and then try to edit them in OO from there. Both machines are running OO3.1. I suspect it is something to do with network settings on my linux box as transferred files appear in nautilus file explorer showing a lock symbol, but can be opened for editing across the network from my laptop? Opening them for editing as a file copy and then saving the copy under a new file name does solve the problem, but is a nuscience factor I would rather not have to live with.<BR>
Any suggestions on what the problem might be and ways to solve it would be appreciated.<BR>
