Is there any way to find a previously saved version of a Writer file?
First, *don't* save the current file, or you will lose this possibility.
o Go to Tools | Options... | OpenOffice | Paths.
o Make a note of the path shown for Backups.
o Outside OpenOffice (using your operating system's facilities),
navigate to that folder.
o Is there a file with the same name as your document file but with
the .bak extension?
o If so, *make a copy of this in one of your own folders*, rename the
copy to change its extension to the original .odt, .ods, or whatever,
and open this file in OpenOffice.
There will be only a single previous version, and this may not be
helpful if you have perhaps made some small edit to the current
version and re-saved it.
If there is no back-up file present, it may be that you do not have
this option selected. Go to Tools | Options... | Load/Save | General
| Save, and tick "Always create a backup copy". That will be no help
for the present problem, of course, but might help you in the future.
I trust this helps.
