I have been doing some work from XP, with OOo (2.3) getting its

freebsd 6.2 as it happens). Normally, no problem.
However there's obviously an XP oddity, in that if XP hibernates and
is woken up again, the network drives are quite often left
disconnected. That means that drive H: (in my case) doesn't appear
in any of the 'save' menus (anywhere, not just in OOo). More
annoyingly, if I then try to just 'save' the file I've been working
on when hibernation occurred, that save fails ...
Other people have had problems when systems recover after
hibernation. It's perhaps worth saying, then, that good practice
would be always to save open documents before leaving your system if
your absence could be long enough to bring about hibernation. Oh,
and I suppose a practice of saving again immediately after the
recovery would at least flag up the problem, so that it could be
attended to or worked around then, rather than after further work had
been done. Unfortunate, but probably sensible ...

Ho, ho! Error messages are *always* material. ;^)
