I was layout out a newsletter (text document) including images using OOo 1.1.1 
on Windows XP Pro with SP1.

I started out by opening an old document named Vol6-1.sxw.  I immediately saved 
it under the new name Vol7-1.sxw then began to work on it.

I was experiencing random crashes, but that is not the purpose of this report 
since I cannot reliably reproduce them.  The problem is that even though I had 
been saving the document Vol7-1 regularly, after a crash, I found that the 
saved document Vol7-1 was identical to the original Vol6-1, meaning all my 
changes were lost.

First I thought I must've saved it somewhere else, but that can't be possible, 
because only did a save-as once, so it can only be in one place.

The timestamp on the Vol7-1 is around the time that I originally did the save-
as, before I started making changes.  So it's as if I had never saved again 
after that point... but in fact I did, several times.  I saw the progress bar 
go from left to right and no errors were reported.  I had no reason to believe 
it wasn't saving.

So either clicking "Save" somehow saved it someplace other than the current 
location and I just haven't found it, or clicking "Save" doesn't actually save 
at the time it is requested, but rather waits until the document is closed or 
something, and that never happened because of the crash.

In a nutshell, clicking "Save" should save the current document in its last 
saved location or prompt for a location/name if it has not been saved yet.  
This did not happen.

I realize I'm using an old version - my next step will be to upgrade, but I 
wanted to report this since it's a critical problem and it should be verified 
that this cannot happen in current versions.
