OO & bub buddy

Hello everyone: I'm having a real problem with something called Bug Buddy. If I create or open an older OpenOffice (OO) document - no problem. However, if I open a MS Word doc, everything seems to be fine until I try and 'save' the document. It doesn't seem to matter if I want to retain the original file type or use the OO default file type. Quite often the Bug Buddy appears and, after a series of menus, offers to 'recover' the document. The problem is that the recovery does not include the changes. So, this means that the automatic backup inside OO is not working nor is the 'save' command in OO. Bug Buddy does return me to the original document but I lose all the changes. Any ideas? cheers, Mike
