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 :)
