Dear All,
Across the globe. Please are you able to help me.
I have been typing a book on Open Office writer. Twice without any warning
the text disappeared totally.
Twice I have re typed and after chapter 12 it vanished again.
I have searched my list of Documents and found the Final Master label.
I tapped into it and it lead me to Erased & Lost. files.
I have found what I think to be the TWO books.
If TWO books disappears it means that you have the TWO books open at the
same time.
TWO books with twelve chapters could be large documents and ask a lot
from your PC
especially when you have pictures in the document. So tell us a bit of
your configuration.
What Operating System and version as well as which version of OpenOffice
do you use?
I could give you only one advice, split large documents in smaller
parts, you always could
merge them into one document later. One benefit is that you losing only
a portion of the
document
The code reads .>Notepad looks like this. a#s#m# etc
Open Office looks like this. #1#8#T#1 etc
I'm a bit surprised that you read the Erased & Lost files with Notepad
as all OpenOffice
files are stored as Zip files which could be corrupted by opening it
with applications
that are not designed to read Open Document Formats.
Please tell me are these Corrupted files beyond salvaging.
Here is were my expertise ends
Thank you for any help that you can offer, and i mean THANK you.
sincerely
Christopher
