Re: How to recover a accidently deleted manuscript
Robin, Yes, that was the first place I looked. Then I purchased one of the programs Rory recommended, but, regretfully, it was not recovered. The actual manuscript was recovered, but it was in all garbled words, so I wasted $70 for nothing. I don't have a choice but to start over again! Thanks for your help.

Re: How to recover a accidently deleted manuscript
I can't tell you how to retrieve it, but for future reference you might want to make PDFs of every OO document you make.

Tut-tut! Look at the methods set out in this tutorial for recovering deleted files https://forum.openoffice.org/en/forum/viewtopic.php?f=71=85038 If you have limited computer skills, my instinct is that you should immediately download and run one of (only one needed) PhotoRec or Recuva, and let it do a recovery of deleted files. Google for the appropriate download sites. The sooner you put a recovery process in operation the better. -- Rory O'Farrell - To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@openoffice.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@openoffice.apache.org
How to recover a accidently deleted manuscript
Hello, I accidentally deleted a 100-page manuscript and was hoping someone could help me retrieve it? I've searched everywhere and can't find it. I don't know enough about coding to be able to search in a deeper manner. Thanks in advance for your help! Sincerely, Jacqueline D Olsen
