Thank you for that clarification Brian. I have often wondered about what happens with autosave and suspected that it was non permanent but wasn't sure.Alan Pearce Original message From: Brian Barker Date: 16/07/2020 03:25 (GMT+00:00) To: users@openoffice.apache.org Subject: Re: Saving documents (was: Perhaps UPSs should be used ...] At 16:56 14/07/2020 -0400, Dan Lewis wrote:>It is also important to save all documents on a regular basis.True.>Tools > Options > Load/Save > General has options that will you >should consider using. Just make sure to limit the number of minutes to 4 of 5.Useful though this facility is, it is important that readers are not misled by this suggestion. Like all sensible applications, OpenOffice saves document files only when the user asks for this to happen - using Save or Save As or by selecting Save from the options provided when a modified document is closed without having been saved. This is important, so that a user may choose, after a period of editing, to abandon all changes and close the document or session without modifying the original document.The option at Tools | Options... | Load/Save | General | Save | Save AutoRecovery information every ... Minutes has another purpose. If it is ticked, information about the current editing session is salted away regularly - but separately from the actual document file. This information is deleted automatically if a session is terminated normally. Its purpose is instead to deal with program or system crashes or power outages. In these circumstances an offer is made, when OpenOffice is next started, to recover editing changes made in the aborted session as far as possible.Brian Barker -To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscribe@openoffice.apache.orgFor additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@openoffice.apache.org

Re: Open Office problem
First, try to open a document again. When the recovery messages appears, click Cancel instead of OK. This will delete the part that is causing the the problem.
