Some users[http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=277201][http://www.mail-archive.com/debian-openoffice@lists.debian.org/msg16179.html] get a "Write error", however, on trying to export to any format except PDF:
 
 
<pre>Error saving the document <filename>:
 
Write Error.
 
The file could not be written.</pre>
 
 
This is related to the use of Java for the export of all the formats except PDF.
 
 
It seems you must have the correct version of Java and dependencies installed.[http://www.mail-archive.com/debian-openoffice@lists.debian.org/msg16179.html] However, it is not clear which version should be installed, as Sun's and GCJ's Java are both reported to give problems.  On Ubuntu, the problem can be caused if the <code>openoffice.org-java-common</code> package is missing (i.e. not installed).
 
 
It may also be a problem with where temp files are saved, if OOo doesn't have permission to save there. (Look it up under Path, and choose a path within your home directory.)
