It can't hurt - with or without Safe Mode. LO is good about saving unfinished documents (but make 
such notes as you can).

At least now you are in the land of Guinness,

Thank you, that means a lot.
You have inspired me to restart my computer in Safe- Mode and see what it brings me?
We have been living in Ireland for just over 4 years, after living in Australia for nearly 17 
years,and prior that in South Africa for 55 years. Since moving from the Southern Hemisphere to 
Northern Europe's furthest West country, I am convinced,that not only have I  not seen the Light's, 
but in fact I have become dumbed down dim to the extent that I am feeling swtched off.
Thanks again for your email response, that has given me a kick start.
Daniel.

    I'm sorry, Daniel: you are almost certainly beyond needing this reply, which brings no relief 
in any case, because your problem is probably not caused by LibreOffice. You don't say what 
operating system (that's usually a crucial piece of information), but sometimes there's no 
substitute for having someone on the spot who can look at your computer screen and diagnose the 
problem.

    And in the best of lives, with the best of savvy, tech servants will fail us sometimes, and we 
should be prepared to revert to a time before tech servants. As you have no doubt seen by now, the 
sooner you write things down, the more easily you will recall what you had on your screen. Happy 
birthdays to your wife and to you.

    John
