Re: [libreoffice-users] file recovery

Ouch!  
I just checked that box on 2 machines downstairs as i happened to be setting 
them both up at the time.  I tend to find it much easier to re-write something 
than it was to write it first time although sometimes i miss some fluky 
elegance.  Usually tho, 2nd time seems to be better for me and somehow my 
fingers magically remember key phrases i was pleased with.  I hope it works that 
way for you too.

Regards from
Tom :)

Subject: 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
