With respect, there is no automatic update of OpenOffice - any update must be specifically downloaded and installed. You may have been hit by a Windows Update, which seem to occur at unspecified intervals. and which can corrupt open files. Alternately the damage may possibly be due to over-hasty power-off of computer or closure of laptop lid, before the file housekeeping has been written to disk. As soon as possible try the methods in this tutorial See https://forum.openoffice.org/en/forum/viewtopic.php?f=71&t=85038] for a Tutorial on How to find and un-delete AOO temporary files for detailed instructions on how to a) use the Previous Versions utility (W7 and later) to recover previous versions of the file (is there something similar on MacOS and Linux?); b) recover your file as it was when you last opened or saved it, or as it was when it was last saved with AutoRecovery; c) find previous versions of the file in the folder it is located in, but which have since been deleted; d) un-delete the temporary files AOO wrote while you were editing the file, and then deleted. This will recover your file as it was when you last opened or you last saved it. -- Rory O'Farrell <ofarr...@iol.ie> --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@openoffice.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@openoffice.apache.org
