Re: [libreoffice-users] Writer recover document

I can place LO on machines that can barely use MSO 95/97.  As long as it 
can run Win XP or Ubuntu 10.04, it can run LO.

For me, I always keep a auto save every 5 or 10 minutes.  For some 
users, the "make a backup copy " of the original file before you edit it 
is the only way to go, with the auto saving option enable of course.  
The only time I had a problem with the "restore" on reboot of LO was 
when I removed the offending file from my system.

The real issue is that if you have a "large" document, then you have to 
decide if it is worth any "slowness" with the auto backup and auto 
saving enabled.  For simple things, maybe not, but for business 
documents and documents that take more than a few minutes to type you 
should enable them.
