Many thanks Peter, Michael and mr meowski; I'll try the simple solution first. I have just discovered that Solar Production 2017.xls opened as Read Only will allow me to copy the individual sheets into a new file and save that in home/Documents. I'll try later and see if it lets me move it to the proper folder.On 10/04/17 16:45, Julian Hall via list wrote: Is the problem just this? https://ask.libreoffice.org/en/question/3827/doc-files-open-as-read-only/ It's not a file permissions thing, I'm pretty sure it's just libreoffice being a bit dim. Can you just re-enable r/w by toggling the "edit" switch as above? It might help to save a copy as a native .ods instead of .xls as well. Here you seem to have created such a file, but it has 0 file size for some reason: -rw-r--r-- 1 julian julian 0 Apr 10 2017 Solar Production 2017.ods -rw-r--r-- 1 julian julian 22528 Mar 6 01:11 Solar Production 2017.xls Perhaps you'd just created it and not saved it when you ran the ls command. Anyway, try CTRL+SHIFT+M to re-enable edit mode and see what that does. Cheers
BTW it's Open Office not Libre Office, but I will try that solution. Cheers, Julian -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG https://mailman.dclug.org.uk/listinfo/list FAQ: http://www.dcglug.org.uk/listfaq
