Message:"it has been deleted"

Question

iMac G5   Mac OS X (10.3.9)   also OS 9 LaCie burner
when I change Spreadsheet documents, then try to "save changes," I get a message "The J. Ortiz pay 2006.cwk(SS) can't be opened because it has been deleted." Then I click <ok>
It seems obvious to me that it was not deleted, but it will not close until I "Quit Appleworks." I am about to have a nervous breakdown fearing that thes files will actually delete themselves.
They were transformed from OS 9 to classic and have been working fine for a couple of years. The only thing I can suspect is that I did an upgrade of Quicktime recently. Otherwise it has been business as usual--nothing fancy outsideof additions to iPhoto.
Please, is there someone who can explain this to me and maybe make these messages stop?
Thanks in advance,
Patricia

Hello
You met a very frustrating oddity.
I was able to reproduce it in a special condition:
when I uses simultaneously two versions of AppleWorks (french one and english one). If I remember well it was also reported when using the OSX version and the Classic version "simultaneously".
If there is only one document to save, try to select all, copy to clipboard.
Quit the application then trash its preferences then restart and paste in a fresh document (before pasting to the old version just for safe).
