Lost work

[Michael Pettit]

I have been writing  a book on OpenOffice for several weeks and saving all work 
as I went.  Yesterday I attempted to resume work and taskbar icon was gone.  I 
reopened it and attempted to open recent work.  I got a message saying file 
does not exist.  Multiple attempts to find "mybook" were unsuccessful.  Any way 
I can recover this?  Thanks.
