Re: Calc cell large
Dana, Try opening Calc and going through the menu View > Zoom... If 100% is not marked, click, it then click the "OK" button. If you find 100% already marked this certainly won't be the solution. If it is not marked it may be the fix that's needed. On Tue, Feb 4, 2020 at 2:03 AM Dana Lynch wrote: > Calc cells suddenly are huge and I can't reset calc.

The hidden file in the document file's folder with a name that "would likely start with the ~ character and end with #" (there's no "likely" about it, and it starts with ".~", in fact) is a lock file and does not contain the document's text or any part of it. It won't help anyone if they find it. Check this out: 1) Tools > Options > Openoffice[] > Load/Save > General. (Select these one at a time to browse to where you can make changes in making backups.) 2) I check Autorecovery and reduce the number of minutes to 5. With this, information about my document is saved every 5 minutes. These are saved in the backup folder every 5 minutes. If there is a problem like you had, I can open the latest one of these files and continue from that point. This may be good general advice (it is), but - as Alan Bonly says - it is useful only after failures such as a program crash or power outage, when the program terminates other than gracefully. This won't help the questioner, who had a different problem, when she mistakenly clicked Discard when closing her document. The only possibility here, I think, is if an automatic back-up facility - such as Windows' File History - happened to catch the recovery copy in the "backup" folder during the editing session and before it was deleted.

"Save early, save often". The keyboard combination Ctrl+S allows saving the file just as rapidly as typing a capital letter. Get into the Ctrl+S habit at any time you pause your editing and there's a great chance of not loosing any work. On Mon, Feb 3, 2020 at 10:36 AM Narissa Hinojosa wrote: Hello!
