[libreoffice-users] Re: help recovering? <SOLVED>

Because I really like closure, thought I would post the resolution to the
problem of the file I lost.
Admittedly a fairly unsophisticated user of the office suite, I overlooked a
very easy answer to the problem of recovering the file that crashed and
ended up being completely empty....

Find the backup copy.

I didn't even realize one existed!  But after continuing to review posts in
this excellent forum and getting a few ideas here and there about how to
stabilize my also-frequently-crashing office suite, I became aware of the
option in the Tools / Options menu that allows for a backup copy to be
saved.  Once I found the Paths option and located the hidden subfolders
where backups and various other LibreOffice system files are saved, I
discovered (to my great joy!) the most recent backed up copy of that trashed
file!

I thank all the folks that attempted to recover the document and offered
suggestions.
But in this case, the simplest answer of all seems to have been just
overlooked by everyone.
It's a complex set of tools and software, so it's not surprising that there
is a lot to learn if one wants to become a proficient user.  The experience
and subsequent follow-up has taught me a lot.

I just really appreciate the hard work and dedication of the entire team of
folks who have made this open source solution even POSSIBLE and I thank you
all for your continued efforts at improving it.

Overall satisfactory and very beneficial results have been achieved.
