OOO Writer not opening a file.....
I have this one file in Word 97-2003 format. Repeated attempts at opening it just create locked versions of the file. I have tried ALL methods of rectifying the locked file issue, and nothing worked. I even updated to 4.1.1 and, still nothing.
I cannot find a way to unlock this file and I need it ASAP.
The following are the characteristics of this situation:
Microsoft Word 97-2003 Document (.doc)
Standard LEFT click to open results in: "Read Error: This is not a WinWord97 file."

There is probably a lock file left.
Quick workaround is to save it with an other name or save in an other directory.
