Re: [libreoffice-users] file recovery

Hello Sigrid, thank you for the speedy reply!

"Always create a backup file" was not checked, but I see that "Save Auto recovery information" was. 
Yet the recovered document was extremely old.  I've now checked the other option -- to back up -- 
and am trying to recreate my work.  Autorecovery didn't seem to work for some reason.

Thank you again,
-John
