I have downloaded recent Open Office but why can I not save any additional
text to a document?

So the problem is specific to that document.

OK, it is not locked by a left-over lock file. Why work in .docx format?
Try /File /Save As and select .odt format. If it works in that format, continue working in it; when the document is finished, try saving as .doc (MS Word 97/2000/XP)

Had you been using Shift Enter to mark paragraphs, you might have reached the 64KB paragraph limit, but that doesn't apply, from what you have written.
You could also try opening a blank .odt document, then in the "bad" document Ctrl A to select all, Ctrl C to copy the text, switch to the blank document then Ctrl V to paste the text. The Save the new document and work on in .odt format.

Is this inability to Save text to all documents or to one specific document?
Is your file shown as Read-only on the titlebar?
Was this a file you have been working on before and do you mark paragraphs by Shift Enter?
