open office 4 for mac keep deleting my files

Hello, my name is Luca

I’m writing to you because since i’ve downloaded the latest version of openoffice(4) on my mac, every now and then, while working on my document, openoffice keep deleting them. I lost twice documents really important to me for this issue. It all happen while working on spreadsheet, the program seem to freeze ( everywhere i point the cursor, the window appear empty ) so basically, the toolbar looks like a grey bar with no options on it and the File/Edit/View etc.. bar is not available. When i try to close the document (prompting the system asking me if i want to save my work) the system says that is impossible to complete the operation because the file i’m working on it does not exist, forcing me to check the folder and realising that the actual document is disappeared. It is not in the bin or any other folder on my mac, it does appear on the history of recent opened document and on a recovering program but the file it says to be corrupted.

How can i fix this problem? I already set openoffice to make backup of my documents, but i don’t want one day to find out that even this option is no longer a choice.

Regards

Luca

Can you tell the list where you downloaded latest AOO from?
