OpenOffice does not save document

[Reuben D. Budiardja]

Hello,
Wondering if the OP found a solution on this, or if other stumbled on this 
problem, because I have. Completely just like the OP described.

No, I couldn't find any resolution.

No permission changed on the system. My home directory is NFS mounted to an 
NFS server. But when this happens I tried to "Save as" the file to a local 
directory to which I'm sure I have complete access to, and to /tmp, nothing 
works. openoffice (in this case Impress) just won't save anything. Luckily, 
it is my habbit to always hit CTRL-S every several minute, so I only lost one 
slide worth of work. When I close OO (it asked if I wanted to save), I had to 
say discard, and then the dialog "OO has crashed" pops up. I guess I am going 
to file bug report with that. 

This has happened twice to me in the last couple days since I've been working 
intensely building presentation this last two days. When this happens, I had 
to 'rm -rf .oo~' in my home directory, otherwise OO keeps giving me random 
crashes. 

I have to say this openoffice beta that comes with FC 4 is not really stable. 
I am wondering why FC4 includes that rather than the stable 1.1.x version.
