It will not *abort*, but the next time Word, for instance, opens you
will definitely be prompted to check whether you want to recover the
last doc(s) you were working on, even if you carefully saved the
doc(s) before ending your last session. Try it and see. Microsoft
Office and LibreOffice function fairly similarly from this viewpoint,
and it does help to prevent data loss when crashes or accidents
happen.

BTW, I am *not* getting into a "Word versus Writer stand-off" here... :-)
