Hello!
So I have been using open office to write my university coursework, and it was being autosaved as I was working.
It appeared to crash the other day, at least i couldnt open OpenOffice for a while. It started working but when I reopened it 15pages of my course work where gone.
Have tried going to 'Preferences' - 'Paths' - 'Backups' - but the only folder in there is a different peice of text.
'Temporary' - which just leads me to what seems a recent folder (more recent that the crash) which is just numbers and letters but I cant seem to open it either way.
I realise Ive been an idiot for relying of autosave and not saving in two places - but any help would be a massive life saver!
Thanks for your time!
Edie

Hi, and welcome to the community forum.
Try this:
Download Recuva (Windows only) or PhotoRec for Win, MacOS, Linux and other OSes (only one needed) and let it do an in-depth recovery of deleted files on your computer. You may get a file containing some or all of your data (or not). Do this as a first priority; other use of the computer may overwrite any existing but deleted files and prevent their recovery. There is no guarantee that you will recover anything useful.
Timestamped backup may be a useful tool for the future.

Thanks for the advice -- will keep this in mind for next time .
Luckily the file literally just magicked into existence about 5mins ago... not sure from where -- and it's picked up a bunch of '%' symbols in its title but the info is still there.
thanks
