It gave me an error and only had something from like 1997-2003 word doc type as an option and when I selected that it gave me an error again so I left it as native Libre Write format).Thanks in advance.

Where are you trying to save the document? Is it possible that you're trying to save it in a system location? (Something like "/usr/bin"?)
Check the LO Writer options and ensure that the "Tools->Options->LibreOffice->Paths->My Documents" setting is pointing to a directory for which you have write permissions.
