This is a little off topic - but it must be said - do not use version 2.0 for important work - unless you are prepared to waste time trying to recover lost information. I do not think v.2 is stable enough yet to be used for important tasks. It is very good potentially - but it must be remembered that it is a work in progress item - a Beta version and this means that it has a much much higher probability of going wrong than a final release.

If you need to complete important tasks - use Ooo 1.1.4. I have 1.1.3 which I use for real work - but I've stopped using v2 for this purpose after having problems with crashes. Now, I am very wary about using v2, but I know and understand that it is not finished yet. Many users seem to think that v2 can be installed and forgotten - this is not true. If you really must use 2.0, save regularly to another docment format as well as backing up.

Alex - and yes, I will be using v2 as my main office application - once the critical bugs have been ironed out and I'm trying to help a little by providing feedback and confirming certain problems for the dev team.

I have had OO 1.9.x crash on me many many times .... sometimes with complete data loss. I am not saying OO pre 2.0 is bad ...... I use it as my primary office suite and I use it a lot. Once thing I have learnt is to backup date files mannually or check out and checking data files from a versioning system so that I can continue to use pre 2.0 and not loose data.

Yep, found the file there and it's empty (relatively). Thanks for the help anyway, everyone :)
