Re: [libreoffice-users] Corrupt File! Help!!!

Hi :)

1st thing is to copy the file that appears to be corrupted.
2nd is to find the "User Profile" and inside it the "back-up" folder
and copy the relevant file that is hopefully in there too.

Preferably put those copies on Usb-stick or email them to yourselves
so that you have a copy that hasn't been worked on yet.  So any advice
from anyone can be safely tried without further harming the one
version of the files.

Regards from
Tom :)
