Greetings All!
The present "hashtag" problem is is symptomatic of the entire OO software
suite. An ordinary user of OO, doing ordinary things w/ a word processor or
other office-suite software, suddenly gets something that is really screwy,
& doesn't know what to do to fix it. Much of their production gets lost, or
else, they spend a lot of time attempting to get their WP document or
spreadsheet the way they want it by trying again & again to get around
built-in or default features (or bugs!) of OO that they don't understand or
know how to modify (& OO documentation, as I have found, is meager &
inadequate). Unless you're a long-time & dedicated user, the OO suite never
seems to do quite what you'd like it to do & you usually can't figure out
how to fix things ON YOUR OWN COMPUTER W/ YOUR EXISTING SOFTWARE. One has
to have the ability to fix things quickly on their own w/o "going to the
experts" every time a problem w/ OO arises! For the casual user, the OO
product appears flawed. People who use any software product want to spend
their time & creativity on what they are developing, rather than spending
time & effort on issues associated w/ the tool they are using to develop it.
OO office software needs much effort to make it more efficient, largely
error-free, & much more user friendly.

Maybe, I'm an anomaly here, but I've never had any of these issues at all.
Generally, I work on a MacBook Air with the current up to date OS. I do also
create PDFs so that I can work on documents on my iPhone in Pages. Using the
iPhone is usefully for last minute work for me.
I've thought about good version options for other iOS devices such as the
iPad Air which I intend to purchase. I work scrips and other technical
documents so it is essential for me to use best practices to prevent loss of
work.

I don't know if it can be retrieved; for whatever it's worth, I've had
that happen too once or twice so now I always create a PDF copy of
everything I do in OO.
