Can't you just say 'Annul' when on opening OOo proposes to recover
that spreadsheet?
I'm guessing that's the same as "Cancel" in the "en-us" locale?
If so, yes, I finally tried that, but that appears to have canceled
recovering *all* spreadsheets that were open
at the time that the offending spreadsheet hung.
Backing up a bit:
At a certain point in time, I had three spreadsheet files open.
Call them A.ods, B.ods, and C.ods, or just A, B, and C.
They were all doing fine,
and occasionally I would change something in one or the other of them.
Then, looking for a spreadsheet I knew I had *somewhere* with certain kinds
of information in it, I opened up Z.ods, thinking that might be it.
It wasn't.
It reported that various .gif (or some kind of image) files were missing,
but eventually came up, but then it froze up.
When I tried to close it with the [X] in the window, it did nothing.
Furthermore, when I tried to close any of the *other spreadsheets,
I couldn't close them either.
When I checked the Task Manager, OO.o was "Not responding". (Big Duh!)
When I told the Task Manager to kill off that application,
it reported that it couldn't because that application was "not responding".
(Stupid M$-Windows!!!!! Don't ask permission from the application!!!!!
Just remove it from the run queue!!!!! Oops. Sorry.)
Eventually it did manage to kill off the OO.o application,
but it left *all four* spreadsheet files -- A, B, C, *and* Z --
needing to be recovered.
As I say, I eventually did click Cancel, and it proceeded to open whatever
spreadsheet it was that I wanted (A, or B, or maybe G or something),
but I have no idea how much, if any, data in A, B, or C was lost
that was never recovered.
