It is important to know that OpenOffice keeps merely a list of the last ten
files edited on that installation. These are stored on the local computer, not
remotely in the cloud; to be edited on one or other computer, the file(s) need
to be physically transferred from one to the other.
It _is_ possible to use remote storage (the cloud); if you know about that and
wish to do so, you probably know enough to sort it out yourself - I cannot help.
