Restart and Read-Error
Posted: Mon Apr 16, 2018 4:24 pm
My computer restarted last night with some updates and when I opened Open Office Writer this morning it opened like I had just downloaded it, asking for me to register the product. All of my recent documents were gone. When I tried opening one of my .odt files a message first pops up asking about ASCII filter options, then it brings up the error message "Document in use. Document is locked for editing by unknown user. Open document read-only or open a copy of the document to edit" No matter which option I pick, it opens a 10 page document (the actual document is closer to 20 pages) with nothing but ####### written over and over again. It only appears to be this one document that's having issues. All of my other .odt files open just fine. The only thing that appears to be significant about this particular one is that is was the document that was still open when the computer restarted itself last night. I have never edited it in MS Word or any other program.
I have a one year old HP laptop. Already tried restarting the computer to no avail and not sure what to do next. Can anyone help?
