Document odt lost instantly
could you please help me,
I lost my most important document containing 105 pages of hard work and I have no idea how it could have disappered.
I always register every ten paragraphs or so.
I probably touch a key or a combination of keys that I souldn’t.
My name is Robert Vincent from Quebec Canada
Thank you in advance.
Best regards

Open Apache OpenOffice (not from a document -- open OpenOffice directly).
The dashboard page will open. It has tiles for the different kinds of documents that you can create. Don't use those.
A. Next to the Open file folder there is a downward pointer. Click on that. Do you see your document in that list? Click on the first one to see if the document you were working on opens.
B. It may be easier to do this (still on the dashboard page):
On the menu across the top of the windows, click File > Recent Documents. If the filenames are too long, put your mouse over a file name in the list and you should see a pop-out line that provides the complete name as well as the location, starting with the most-recent document you saved.
Let us know if that solves your problem by replying to users@openoffice.apache.org.
If it does not solve your problem, let us know by replying to users@openoffice.apache.org. Then we will need more information from you to go analyze farther.

PhD you have my most profound sympathy
