Hi :) The first step is just getting LibreOffice open normally. Don't worry about the document until after that. Even if it doesn't open easily at that point there might be a recent back-up somewhere. There is a very high chance that the document will be ok tho. Ok, so open LibreOffice from the menus or by opening a different document, not the one you want to recover. Choose the option "Don't recover window". Hopefully that has opened LibreOffice now? You can find the folder paths that LibreOffice uses by clicking on LibreOffice - Preferences - LibreOffice/General - Paths hopefully all the paths are soemthing like /home/username/.libreoffice/3/user/ ... something The folder called "3" is the one Jay was referring to. Renaming that forces LibreOffice to generate a new config folder. Somewhere in the old one is a folder called "Backups" or soemthing and hopefully your document's latest backup should be in there. Good luck and regards from Tom :) -- View this message in context: http://nabble.documentfoundation.org/Persistent-Restore-Windows-Window-tp3324644p3324992.html Sent from the Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- For unsubscribe instructions e-mail to: users+help@global.libreoffice.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
