Broco, this issue is unreproducible in LibreOffice Writer. Does this work for you? If using Lucid or Maverick feel free to perform via the Terminal:

The Information is structured in a table. Not the problem: After writing into the table it sometimes (can't tell why) the table alters and has no more space to the right corner of the paper. Which means while printing there will be a part cut off. So I thought it would be a good idea to alter the table to 95% width and position "centre" (I have a German version). After this I saved the document - no problem everything looked fine, table is still there, well formatted. But today I felt like Thor himself threw that hammer at me: After opening the document again the table inside was gone the headline (not in table) was still there. Work of 5 hours gone, my right hand is bleeding, my keyboard is destroyed. Is there a way to get those tables back?
