[newbie] OpenOffice worry
From time to time I have had problems with an OO save, causing a spontaneous logout. The worry is that sometimes the save has completed OK before the logout, and sometimes the document is corrupted, making it difficult if not impossible to resurrect the data. For text documents I have laboriously opened them in a text editor and stripped out all control codes, saving the day, but I'm very worried about the possibility of losing crucial spreadsheet data.
