Firstly, as others have hinted, OpenOffice is a shambling corpse these days and you really shouldn't be using it for anything at all I'm afraid. Secondly, something is wrong - probably permissions related - with your NFS setup, obviously. First install LibreOffice on Mint - there is literally no reason to not be using it on Linux instead of OpenOffice. Make a fresh copy of your office files somewhere local, change their permissions to 777 for testing and then fire them up in LibreOffice instead and see how you get on. Then we'll fix the NFS thing.

Hi..I have uninstalled Open Office and installed Libre Office - actually Mint comes with LO preinstalled. Had I known OO is no longer being actively supported I would have left it as it was, but I did get regular - ish - updates so I thought it was OK.
I still have the same problem with the Open Office files, such as my MA dissertation, last written to in December. The problem with making copies of all my office files is there are dozens in a few different folders. I'll try starting with one folder and see what happens.
