[libreoffice-users] Re: Help! Lost all file permissions after upgrading Libre Office in Win 7

Some more information . If I try to open an .odt file in File Explorer 
with Libre Office, I get "locked for editing by unknown user." I can 
however open the file with Wordpad (though this is no use for editing.)  
I can save a new file to one of the problem directories with Wordpad, 
and also re-open it with wordpad. However, if I try to open the new file 
with Libro Office, I can't.

Hope this makes more sense to someone than it does to me!
