It seems that your file has been truncated (cut short - the last part of the file is missing). See how the size of content.xml is not given - I think this is a sign of a truncated file. . trunc.png . This probably means that the PC crashed before the file had been completely written. content.xml con...

There is almost zero possibility that you have lost more than one file due to user error so they should still be on the disk. One file may be lost by mistake but more than one file will not be lost by mistake unless, as Hagar says, you deleted the folder containing all the files by mistake. Have you...

As a new poster you will find much useful information in the Writer FAQ , the Writer Tutorials , the up to date AOO Writer for Students and the Writer User Guide . May I suggest you bookmark the pages. Read Chapter 15 - Using F o rms in W r iter in the Writer Guide to see if it is possible to create...

As said above, use Windows to search for all your files. Click the magnifying glass icon on the Taskbar and look for *.od* to find all LO documents; or *.odt, *.doc, *.docx to find all text documents; *.ods, *.xls, *.xlsx to find all spreadsheets etc.

1. Use windows search to search for *.ods (or *.xls) to find all spreadsheet files on your PC. Use *.odt or *.doc or *.rtf to find text documents. 2. If you cannot find it try [Tutorial] How to find and un-delete AOO temporary files for detailed instructions on how to a) use Previous Versions (W7 an...

When I inserted content to get four pages, AOO lost content and a complete page if I changed the page style of a page but the content and page returned when I reset the page style. Hence my recommendation for the OP to use the inserted file (your file.odt) or start from scratch.

See this post . My point is the OP's original .odt file is corrupted as AOO could not set mirrored pages nor add a page number nor add any other field. But inserting it into another file removed these corruptions and the new file worked as expected. As the OP uses AOO, I suggest that LO experience i...

I find your text is very difficult to read because it is all crunched up together because you have set the text Scale width to 90%. You should never do this.

I'll take a look at your attachment for margin guides, but I want the outside to be wider then the inside. I did that file as an example for you to test and save. However, it is now irrelevant as I am now certain your - ParagraphStyleDoublePage.odt is corrupted so throw it away and start again. You...

I think there is something corrupted with - ParagraphStyleDoublePage.odt because it does not show page numbers when I insert them. I opened a new, empty text file and went Insert > File ..., and pulled in - ParagraphStyleDoublePage.odt . This often clears up corruption in a .odt file. I got your fil...

Does margins.odt work for you? Note that with mirrored, the 1st, 3rd, 5th etc pages are RIGHT and the 2nd, 4th and 6th etc pages are LEFT as shown in the book layout below.

Hiding file extensions was yet another of Microsnot's monumentally stupid ideas. It is the first thing I change when working on a different computer. How do I show file extensions in Windows 10? Since some time my backups for no explainable reason are saved in C:/users/appdata/roaming/libreoffice/4/...

How do I get Libre Office to save my backup files as .bak documents ... instead of PDFs? LO does not save backup files as .pdf. Do the following test. 1.

You will be better posting that problem in the Base forum,

It is very difficult to see how you could be losing lines. The only scenario I can suggest is that you are not saving the file before emailing it . If you don't save the file first, all edits will no t be saved to the file on disk. Emailing presumably sends the file on the disk so those edits will n...

If I use the Format brush to copy a good Heading 1 without a number and apply it to some text, I get a Heading 1 without a number. As expected.

But, if I highlight some text and apply a Heading 1, I get a preceding bullet and tab. I cannot then backspace to delete the tab and bullet.

After doing what you suggest, if I type Tom on a new line, highlight it, apply Heading 1, it gets a preceding bullet and tab.

Further testing suggests there is something corrupted in the .odt file as I started getting preceding tabs which I could not remove. Copying the tabbed content to a new sheet removed the tabs. It seems as though the Heading 1 definition has been corrupted to add bullets and/or numbering. Abandon the...

Your file was empty. When I added a Heading 1 title it did not number.

1. Download test.odt to your desktop
2. While connected to the internet, open AOO and go File > Open ..., and navigate to test.odt.

Describe exactly what happens.

I have the same using .doc documents with using bullets or indentations. Bullets are changed to little squares after saving.
