Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: Libreoffice bug

Hi :)
Windows needs regular maintenance and it does quite a lot during
normal shut-down and switch on.  So a lot of people are starting to
miss out on all that now that laptops are becoming so common.

When you start LibreOffice it tries to recover any documents it feels
weren't saved properly but usually it's best to just cancel out of
that and let LibreOffice start normally.

If you can get into the habit of saving your own documents reasonably
often then it might be a good idea to turn off the auto-save feature
Regards from
Tom :)
