Or make it read only. However, there is something called "Templates" in OO. If you save templates there, you don't have to worry about overwriting. As for recovering the original, it may still be on the disk, but marked as deleted. There are disk utilities that can find deleted files that have not actually been overwritten. Avoid writing anything to that disk, until a recovery has been attempted. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@openoffice.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@openoffice.apache.org
