Upgraded to 3.0, a Calc file reverted to previous version!

Post by DanaSaylorDesigns »

Help! I am running Windows XP with Parallels on my Macbook with Leopard 10.5.4. I did have Oo on the Windows side, but decided to use my Mac, well, as a Mac, and installed Oo on that side the other day. Realizing the problems with x11 and Leopard, I upgraded to 3.0 beta. I went to open a Calc file I used just yesterday after upgrading to 3.0, and it can only open on the WinXP side, and has reverted to an older version of the file! Don't understand why- perhaps the upgrade somehow replaced the version that was on WinXP (even though when I downloaded it, XP wasn't open, and I was on the Mac side). So perplexed, and desperately seeking my lost information.
OOo 3.0.X on Mac OSx Leopard + Windows XP

Try a file search on both systems; perhaps for any .ods file modified in the last 48 hours, or something like that. The simplest explanation is that you saved the updated file in a different location. I don't see how OOo could ever revert a document to a previous version.
