Re: [libreoffice-users] document protection not working

Hi :)
I generally just cancel the recovery thing anyway as it rarely works quite the way i wanted it too 
and as you have found just opening the document seems to recover it anyway.  Since this sounds like 
such extremely bad advice i do make sure i adequately back-up documents in the first place.  
Regards from  
Tom :)
