New user here, of LibreOffice, trying to recover a document open in
Writer when a Microsoft update auto-rebooted my computer.
Welcome here - though for a sad/mad situation.
Reopening Writer, I followed instructions on
a recovery Wizard. An error message flashed on and then a document
appeared, but a very old version of the document.
Does not sound logic to me...
Did I lose the newer version that was up on
my desktop for hours? Doesn't Writer autosave by default?
Save interval for autorecovery is default at 15 min.
See Tools > Options > Load/save > General
Should I start trying to recreate it from my head?
I have no idea what your computer did with the recovery file. So
unless someone else comes up with better info, I would think you have
to do that yes.
P.S. I'm using LibreOffice 3.3.2 OOO330m19 (Build:202) tag
libreoffice-3.3.2.2 under Windows XP service pack 3.
Thanks for the info. I find no bugs for auto recovery function however:

Is it something you can reproduce (hmm ask Windows update to do it
again :-\ )
Regards,

Hi. There is a bug for auto recovery if the document being edited is a .doc
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=34805
I have turned auto recovery and backup off now and just regularly
remember to save because I know I can't rely on it.
