I had my computer shut down incorrectly, and when i restarted it and tried to open a spreadsheet (which was saved several times prior to the crash) it attempted to recover the document, but was unsuccessful. After the unsuccessful recovery, when i first double click the file it opens a window that says "text import" followed by the file name, but with "%20" symbols where the spaces in the name should be. when i click "ok" it gives me an error titled "document in use" that says "document file 'daily%20log%207-24-14%20to.ods' is locked for editing by: Unknown User Open document read-only or open a copy of the document for editing. then gives me three options: open read-only, open copy, cancel. How can i get my file back? Can i revert to the last save? How can i unlock it if i never locked it?
the easy way, i think, is to open a copy of the document for editing and save it with a different name. also, search the directory where your spreadsheet resides for a hidden file with a name like '.~lock.something.ods#'. if such a file exists, then it is what is blocking your spreadsheet; delete the lock file and the spreadsheet will probably be unlocked. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@openoffice.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@openoffice.apache.org
