Comment 7 for bug 149849

To clarify my above comment: the behavior is I'm describing is that you may do some arbitrary amount of work (in my case, an hour or so) and then find that you can't save your document. The error message is pretty cryptic, so I had thought I was encountering a weird permissions issue and eventually gave up after trying a few different locations. I discovered too late that had I only saved it as a Microsoft Word document instead of an Open Office Document it works (say it ain't so! The MICROSOFT format works better?!). I have since set my default format to Word and have not encountered this bug again. The DocX import was flawless, by the way - I was mightily impressed.

Anyway, I would humbly suggest that we indicate in the error message that one might try to save in a format OTHER than .ODT.
