Re: [libreoffice-users] LO auto save

yes Miguel, I have made the adjustments regarding saving. moved the time to 30 minutes. I may still 
use Ctrl + S as I assume that will work.

What I have done as saving to either .rtf or .odt seems to be ok. I'm now going to work with LO and 
use .odt. I had had been using LO until today and so had a 215 page document in Wordpad created. 
I'll keep what I have done to this point on that format too. I create a copy in a folder as it is 
easy to mess up and too many folks don't have good BU. I also have a Clickfree BU C6 that creates 
an Image and then daily BU on a 1 TB drive. I usually BU BU BU.

I have seen many times that the filter for rtf in Libo/OOo is not the best.
Copy in Worpad and paste in LibreOffice as text without format, and then
use the styles in Libo to format the text and always save as ODT, I
think is best option.

But what is the trouble in use directly Libo, have you adjust the
Menu/Tools/Options/LibreOffice/Memory?, to get a better performance.
