Hi, My laptop crashed today, while my 103 pages long document was open. Foolishly I've kept the laptop running for days without giving it a proper shutdown.
When I booted up again, OpenOffice wanted to recover my document, and I pressed yes. It opened a 102 pages long version of the file - and it seems to be from 3 days back (checked the date on the .bak file in the backup folder). This is all fairly reasonable in itself. However, my setting for saving autorecovery is on 5 minutes. My openoffice is hence set to save autorecovery information for my documents every five minutes. Why didn't this work in my case? (I've had the document open for a looong time, it should've saved at least something more recent than a version from the 7th?) Is there a catch to this setting? A bug associated with it? "Always save a backup file" is also ticked. Puzzling, isn't it? Needless to say, I lost a lot of important data :( I'll be very grateful if you help me in this matter. I'm on vista with openoffice 3.0 Kind regards, Bj _________________________________________________________________ Mejla från tåget!
