Hi :)
+1
Usually it all works very smoothly and it's kinda nice to see the lock-file appear and vanish as if 
by magic.  Definitely a feature and NOT a bug, except when something else throws a spanner in the 
works
Regards from
Tom :)

Hi.
I think that ~lock is used to control access to the document you have 
open. To stop another user from changing it unless you have enabled 
multiple user access for simultaneous editing.

Usually it goes when you close the document, sometimes they stay after 
closing LO and I delete them.

         HOW can it be stopped?; is it a bug which has continued form day 1?;
it happens in all the OO/LO programs  ;-(

         Each time it appears, I delete it; I would search through
'properties' for an option to stop this inane phenomenon, but never found
anything.

         Sure hope this bug will die anon.

Hi :)
Has this problem been fixed yet?  There might be a hidden file in the same
folder the original document was in and has a name with ~lock in it
somewhere.  Deleting that file should get things back to normal.  Usually
there is a ~lock file in the UserProfile somewhere so hopefully renaming
your user profile to force LO to generate a new one should have done the
trick.
