Why am blocked from saving an .odt text document open in Abiword?

Post by Governor »

I have been working on a text document, but when I try to save it, I get:

Code: Select all

"Writing error when attempting to save file."

The file is on a FAT32 USB (external) harddrive. C'mon man, I just can't get a break.

Seriously, how does anyone work like this?

Don't take life too seriously, you will never get out alive.

What size is the file?

Is the location mounted?

is .odt a file option provided by Abiword?

Abiword is always doing strange things.

I would suggest installing LibeOffice and using it's writer program.
Or
Install OpenOffice and use it.

The things you do not tell us, are usually the clue to fixing the problem.
When I was a kid, I wanted to be older.
This is not what I expected :o
