Greetings,
Help > About LibreOffice says I'm using: LibreOffice 3.3.2 OOO330m19
(Build:202) tag libreoffice-3.3.2.2, Ubuntu package
1:3.3.2-1ubuntu2~lucid1 I'll try to supply other information if it's
needed.
Problem is that a word processing file I'm trying to edit says it's
'locked for editing.' Two questions: 1.) How did I lock it? and 2.) How
do I go about unlocking it? TIA for any suggestions.
The locking is done automatically by the software, so that two users cannot work together on the
same file and one overwriting the changes of the other.
To unlock change first the setting within nautilus to show the hidden files. Then go into the same
directory, where your file is and you'll see there a file with a similar name that ends in .lck.
Delete this file and you can edit your original file again as before.
I believe, this will help.
Sigrid
