Re: [libreoffice-users] deploy java macro with document

Hi :)
Hmmm, i sometimes get that error message when i try to save to the network file-shares here.  If i 
save to the local machine and then copy onto the network it seems fine.  I've had the same problem 
with a couple other apps and other machines so i assumed it was related to network issues at my 
end.  
Regards from
Tom :)
