My constant hint is to *always* use the native file format a tool can manipulate, eg ODF file formats when working with LibO/OOo. Then, *when and only when* an export need arises under some other exotic file format, just Save as for that purpose.

Re: [libreoffice-users] file recovery
Tom, Might want to uncheck them if you edit, write, and save in .doc filetype, as another lister noted a bug affecting .doc files and so unchecks these boxes, himself. It was a bit quicker to recreate and I both missed things while getting other things better.

Re: [libreoffice-users] file recovery
Hi :) If you are not able to search the bugs area at the moment (through inexperience or lack of time) then it is better to just post the bug report yourself and let triagers gain more experience at searching for and linking similar bug-reports. If it isn't already posted then you will have done a hugely positive thing in drawing attention to the problem.

Re: [libreoffice-users] file recovery
Hi :) Thanks :) Since MS Office is the dominant Office on those machines i thought i would leave the LibreOffice saving to ODFs. That way one advantage of using LO is easy access to that format. I should check that ODFs don't try to open in MS Office because that would be a little bit irritating. Right tool for the right job is best.
