I feel sorry for you, I tried to show you that you provided incomplete or

As Bryan didn’t share his reply with the user community we are not aware what

When your system shut down or restart OpenOffice doesn’t have time to display 
an error message neither it has the time to do save  your file and do the 
normal housekeeping.

> What can I do in this situation?

What you can do in this situation depend on what you have done before it has 
happened.
Hopefully you have set that OpenOffice should backup your files and do an auto 
recovery ever x minutes.
Go to Preferences -> Load/Save -> General to check your settings
If you have selected to make backups you find the location of the backups in 
Preferences -> OpenOffice -> Paths

Re: My computer restarted and I lost important document

[Howard Blum]

Not saving the document and not having the auto save function on likely
means it's impossible to recover the document.

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but as a 30+ year Mac user I can't
think of anything to help you.

My computer restarted and I lost important document

[Kate Ponomarenko]

Hi. I really need your help. I was working in Open Office and didn’t save the 
document. My computer restarted and now I can’s restore the information. I use 
iMac. It didn’t show any error message.
What can I do in this situation? I tried to find your phone number but no luck.
Please contact me +1 917 826 9998.

Thank you

Who did inform you? 
Your Microsoft docs and spreadsheets will always be recognised, the question is 
will you be able to open
them with your current version of MS Office. I don’t know which version you run 
on your Mac so it’s hard
to guess what the issue is.

>  Will I be able to open these files in Open Office?

OpenOffice is able to open MS office word and spreadsheet, but there could be 
some minor formatting issues.

Normally there options are for the whole document not just for one or more 
pages.

OK selecting PREFERENCES and then APPEARANCE open a window with more options, 
you don’t tell what action you took to view the choices and I can’t believe 
that things are solved without any action from your side.

>  What have I done to cause this

Only you can tell.

> or better, how can this problem be resolved??

Undo what you have done.
Alternatively you can be more specific about your Operating System and what 
part of OpenOffice you have problems with.

Did you download from the official site or elsewhere? I upgraded to Mojave
and have never seen that message.

Read microsoft documents in Open Office

[D Murray]

Since updating my Mac with the latest OS (Mojave) I am informed that my
Microsoft docs and spreadsheets will not be recognised after a certain
period.  Will I be able to open these files in Open Office?

Thank you

You don't say what "acct" you are having problems with. If you are

email aoo.forum...@gmail.com  and ask for

If the username and password are for something else, that is beyond the
