OpenOffice document locked
Posted: Tue Oct 13, 2020 9:23 pm
I know this has been discussed here, but I am not finding my exact difficulty. Long story short, I have a book near completion, and save always as the odt. No problem.
But today, my computer had a hiccup and it cut out on me. I shut it off, when i could get it back up, OO would not open for me. It treated me as if i was just loading for the first time. So, I put in what I thought I had loaded initially some months ago.
The file I am looking for is now locked. I don't know why. Whether because iI didn't use proper login? Or it locked as laptop went down.
When I ask to open it as a copy, or a read only file, I find only 15 (not 30+) pages of only pound signs. Noooo words at all. I am stunned -actually, since I just found it, I am still in quite a bit of shock. I don't know how to find my book!
And i never locked the document as the laptime is mine alone, and I'd have no reason to. I can resurrect some of it. But oh my lord! Not half of it!
Help?
