OK, 3 people suggested cancel.  I tried that , then restarted LO and, lo 
and behold, it bypassed the recovery routine.  I'm assuming it will work 
this way even after rebooting, so I think my question has been solved.  
Thank you so much everyone.

I have not had the problem with 3.6.4, but when I did, "Cancel" 
sometimes worked and sometimes did not.

Hi :)
Have you tried the "Cancel" button when you get that recovery 
dialogue pop-up box?  Cancel usually clears them.  I often find that 
documents it worries might have been corrupted are actually 
completely fine.

Tom :)

LO crashed ( I think I ran out of battery on my laptop) with 3

open.  When re-opening some time later, 3 documents failed 
recovery.  I
had probably trashed the files b/c I didn't need them any more, but 
not
sure.  In any case, these 3 files keep coming up as having been
improperly closed every time I open LO.  They of course fail each 
time.
I've looked for a setting to clear out the list of files that crashed,
but can't find it.
Is this by design?  If so, can I somehow clear out the file list so it
opens normally?
Thanks,
Carl
