I am sending you a copy of a reply to your problem as you are not a
member of this mailing list. If you have further problems or more of
them in this situation, please write to this mailing list
(users@openoffice.apache.org) and not me personally.
I sounds like you did not set how you want backup copies to be made.
If so, Alan is completely right. Check this out:
1) Tools > Options > Openoffice.org > 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.

Hello Narissa,
I think you are out of luck. If OpenOffice or the computer had crashed or
if you forced the program to close without saving the document you would be
able to find the document per the instructions at the link below.
https://smallbusiness.chron.com/recover-unsaved-work-openoffice-29581.html
That crash recovery version of the document the instructions direct how to
find disappeared whenever the program was closed by clicking the Discard
button in every test I tried.
One other possibility is look in the directory the file is saved in. Make
sure your file browser is set to show hidden files. It is possible a
version of the file might still be there. The name would likely start with
the ~ character and end with #. The file has a greater chance of being
there if it was saved on a network drive instead of the pc's hard drive.
Good luck.
At the risk of rubbing salt in a wound, and not at all intending to,
regardless what happens with this file I suggest the following to people as
a way to protect against just this sort of thing. "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.

Hello! I am desperate for help!!
I accidentally clicked “don’t save” when editing a document! I have looked
everywhere and I can’t find out how to get it back! I went through the
steps online of the c:\users\ that brings up the backup file and it’s not
in there!
Thank you so much for your time!
