A new OOo user is using Calc to store information on volunteers in an
organization. Israeli ID numbers are 9 digits in length, such as this:
317907977
However, Calc has reformated them to this:
317908000
This is a major dataloss for the organization. The person in charge is
pissed, and both myself and OOo are to blame. OOo is already coming
off their machines (14 desktops, and I think a few laptops as well)
and I am tasked with recovering the missing data. Is this possible?
I have used OOo since before it was OOo. I have not lost data due to
the software in any case.
As for data in spreadsheets. I don't agree with using information on
users being stored in a spreadsheet. It isn't what it was designed for.
It makes it to easy for a simple user error to make a mistake and
corrupt the data.
Backups are for recovering missing data.
