Tom, I am very sorry that you have had a serious difficulty.
Unfortunately, there is not enough information to determine what "this well-known problem" is. Your case could easily be different than others that are reported. It is always wise to keep intermediate backups and you can make that automatic in the Tools | Options menu. That's for the future. It does not help with your immediate loss of a document. What do you mean that the document disappeared? Did it disappear or is it there but appears to be corrupted and opens in a strange way? Also, please let us know which version of Apache OpenOffice you were running, and on what operating system. And what was the name of the file? - Dennis PS: You have reached a public mailing list on which volunteers contribute to questions from other users like themselves.

I've seen a series of suggestions, but none will fix the problem. Renaming and Unzipping doesn't help. I can't understand how a program is allowed to ruin people's life by letting them work for weeks on documents. Comments on the forum say when a file is corrupted, the problem is unfixable. BUT IF A FILE IS SAVED ONCE ELECTRONICALLY, HOW CAN IT DISAPPEAR? I won't be using your program again untill this problem is fixed. I'm even thinking about buying a typewriter again, that will cost me less time.
