...

    I have two completely updated F-11 computers in which the OpenOffice
    word processor is nearly useless because I can't edit anything?

    I can open a document and copy it to a new file but it doesn't trust
    me to change anything, a matter of permissions perhaps but I can't
    see where to change it.

    Am I alone in this, can anyone tell me what I need to do? 
I saw similar symptoms a while back.

Are the files on the local machine, or are they on an NFS mount?  If the
latter, try (temporarily) taking down the firewall on the server.

If that works, look here for more details:
