Re: [libreoffice-users] Lost my spreadsheet

Hi :)
If you have been able to recover or re-create your file then i think the problem is pretty much 
solved isn't it?  It's an unlikely event so i'm not sure whether it's worth posting a bug-report 
about it.  

The 2nd link of these 2 is probably the best one for you for this case
http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/BugReport
https://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/bug/
but they both end-up achieving the same thing.  

If it happens again then definitely post a bug-report.  Hmmm, actually since it potentially 
involves data-loss perhaps it is important to post a bug-report asap.  

Somewhere in 
Tools - Options
is a tick-box to allow automatic back-up of files and auto-saves every so many minutes during 
editing.  I tend to set that about 30mins-1hour instead of the annoying 10mins (or so) default

Regards from
Tom :)

Hi Tom, 
Thanks for the reply. I've inserted some answers to your questions as noted below.

I do back up my computer about once per week.

Someone mentioned you have to go to Page to access your file. I went to Page Preview and that 
brought the file back in.

I didn't have any problems with LibreOffice before. I used Open Office before.

Luckily, I have been also making a spread sheet for this same file on Excel 2007, for income tax 
purposes.

Thanks again.
