// New copy as I sent a reply to John only, not to the list :) Hi John,
I had the same problem with my openoffice. It crached several times and decided to do so when people had some sort of important work unsaved that they managed to write for several hours. My solution for that was to manually give OpenOffice it's temporary directory location in the settings and set autosave to 5 minutes or less. Now every user has in their /home a special directory where OO saves temporary files and another directory for autosaves. This way if openoffice craches I can get their "opened over the web" and automatically saved documents from these locations. I Hope this helps :) Meelis Add-on : After I had installed OpenOffice in my server those settings were not enabled by default. ----- Original Message ----- From: "john" <[email protected]> To: "Edubuntu Users Group" <[email protected]>; "edubuntu-devel" <[email protected]> Sent: Monday, June 07, 2010 11:06 PM Subject: where do office docs "go" when OOWriter freezes? > Hi all, > > Occasionally open office crashes and students lose there work.
