The group ownership is rather telling. Why is there a "root" in there?
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.
The origins of this file are long lost. It probably began as a
StarOffice file, I don't remember. It's a form I use to keep track of
the pills I take. Routine stuff that is easily lost track of, did I or
didn't I? It has been modified numerous times over the last ten years or
so as med's change, etc. I probably changed permissions and owner,
usually all I want is to print ten more copies and do whatever it takes
to get it done.
The problem was with the directory ootext which apparently had it's
permissions corrupted somehow when I transferred it from the F-10
computer. I don't know what I might have done wrong but I removed the
directory and created a new one with the same name.
[bobg@box9 ~]$ ll /home/bobg/ootext
-rw-rw-r--. 1 bobg bobg 9425 2009-10-28 15:01 bp-meds-091028.odt
OpenOffice no longer treats it as read only. It should not have
taken me that long to find the problem but I thought it was
something in the OpenOffice configuration and wasted time on that
tangent.
Thanks for the help.
