Retrieving text from previous use

Hello everyone,

I had OpenOffice on my mac but I have had to reset and lost all my documents, now back in OpenOffice, is there any way to recover them?

[RoryOF]

Unless you have reformatted your hard disk the documents should still be on your computer in the location in which they were saved. In OpenOffice, using /File /Open and the navigation buttons, navigate to that/those location(s) and Open/Close each file. These will now appear on your Recent Documents list in OpenOffice.

Thanks for your reply RoryOF,

I had to format the drive because I could not access anything so all lost then!

[RoryOF]

Unfortunately yes, unless you had a backup on an external drive.

No backup because I could not access the computer before reset, I will back up files as I create them.

Dropbox is a good very nice for file sharing and file backup.
