And what do you mean by copied from OO? Open a file from one place in
OpenOffice.org and saved to somewhere else? Something else? What's the
process that your files have been through from initial creation to you
working on them? Any backups in the middle? And, if so, how were they
done?
None of *my* files ever get "root" in the user or group ownerships.

Hmmm, I have changed one file named unknown.odt to permissions of 776 with ownership fennix:root and subsequently have no difficulty with editing and saving my changes. This file is also is on the data disk that has been remounted after installation/upgrade through 4 fedora versions and retaining my user and group id's (uid and gid) which always is the same. But if your files are somehow "copied" rather than the originals as mine are perhaps some other question is involved. My user ID is just the installation default so has no groups added to it such as root. My uid and gid is always 500. I always use the default OO package supplied from Fedora. There seems to be more involved with whatever you have done through your upgrade process and perhaps we have not yet asked the right question yet.
Yours,
Fennix
