What is wrong with my document!

Post by sizzlegenie »

Hi. I saved a document to OO and filled out the various columns. Saved again and emailed. On opening, both the saved and sent documents were missing chunks of data. Any ideas?

Format in which you saved? A Writer or Calc or what other type of document?

Q1. Was it a .doc? or a .odt?

Q2. Was it a document you received from someone else? Or did you write it from new?

See the Writer Guide, the Writer FAQ, the Writer Tutorials and Writer for students.

Remember: Always save your Writer files as .odt files. - see here for the many reasons why.
