Upon restarting the computer after the earlier change to rw,defaults, 
and discovering that I still did not have ownership of the partitions, I 
  made the changes suggested in the forum. fstab now looks like this:

# /etc/fstab: static file system information.
#
# <file system> <mount point>   <type>  <options>       <dump>  <pass>
proc            /proc           proc    defaults        0       0
/dev/hda3       /               ext3    defaults,errors=remount-ro 0       1
/dev/hda7       none            swap    sw              0       0
/dev/hdd        /media/cdrom0   udf,iso9660 user,noauto     0       0
/dev/fd0        /media/floppy0  auto    rw,user,noauto  0       0
/dev/hda6	/media/office	vfat	iocharset=utf8,umask=0000		0	0
/dev/hda5	/media/storage	vfat	iocharset=utf8,umask=0000		0	0

I then ran sudo mount -a. No change. I then rebooted the computer. No 
change. I then notes that farther below in the forum, three 
naughts/zeros were used. I made that change as well. Still no change. I 
am still not the "owner" of the two vfat partitions. I still cannot edit 
OpenOffice files that are stored there.

Any other ideas?
