Now, let me say that I'm a retired computer professional, and I should know better. I'm now a photographer and an author. I was 20,000 words into a novel targeted at 80,000 words. I opened my novel, and it was gone.
I saved it to Onedrive. Thankfully, a week ago, I also saved it to my laptop's hard drive, but that was 10,000 words ago. My 88 pages of novel is now 11 pages of hashtags. I've never seen or heard of anything like this before. All of my other books open just fine. I'm on a laptop using Windows 10. I'm using Open Office 4. What is odd is that OO wanted me to register again, and when I try to open my novel, it asks what character set I want. Strange. I see that I'm not alone in this problem, and it has been happening for years. Does anyone have an idea of how to recover an old version of an OO document? -- View this message in context: http://openoffice.2283327.n4.nabble.com/My-entire-novel-was-replaced-with-hashtags-tp4684286.html Sent from the Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
