Hello,
I have a problem, I can no longer modify and save the changes to my Open Office files. When I modify a file and want to save the changes, this message appears: "Error saving 'filename', Error creating object, Unable to create a backup copy."
I uninstalled and reinstalled Open Office this morning (I've been having this problem since yesterday morning..) and it didn't change anything...
Can someone please help me? What should I do?

Thank you very much for the info, I am using Windows 8 and Open Office 3.4.1

Configuration: Windows 8 / Internet Explorer 10.0

    Thank you for the response. My computer is brand new (4 months old), so there's plenty of storage space available ;) Also, my files don't have any forbidden characters; I had already made several modifications to them... I don't understand why it's blocking... And it blocks on ALL the folders on my computer, all my courses..
    I'm desperate; I need to work, and I can't ^^ !!
    I tried creating new documents... I can save as and choose any format... it works... I continue to work... but when I want to save again, I can't, and that cursed message comes back...

    I also found out: I changed the backup folder path... Everything is back to normal!
    And I learned that you should never open a .bak file to edit, OOo cannot do it, you need to rename it to a .odt or .doc file first...

    Are you sure not to introduce "forbidden" characters in your document title, like "slash" or "backslash"? That's usually the type of response it generates... Anyway, it's clear that it's not a problem with Ooo. Also, check your available space for saving...

    Good luck...
