Tom that’s an interesting idea. I would suggest an even more important concept,
practice good computer hygiene: before you leave your computer save all
documents, shut down all programs. Then if there is a power failure no problem.
I would recommend clearing out browser memory (history, cookies, etc.) you can
bookmark websites and use a password manager to easily return to websites on
restart.

Hello AOO Users & Advisors,
For years I've routinely read reports from Open Office Users about various
problems. Many are generally attributed to having shut down one's computer too
quickly, before shut down processes have been completed.
I've used OO and AOO for many years, both on Windows based computers and on
MacBook Pros. I've never experienced *this* type of problem. I attribute that
good fortune to three things:
* Use of Uninterruptible Power Supplies with Desktop Computers.
* Use of Laptop Computers which have immunity to power loss due to
their internal batteries.
* Very deliberate shut down processes:
o Quit the Running Applications (at least all which involve my
user data)
o Log out of whatever LogIn Accounts have been in use (generally
just one)
o Shutdown the computer
I think that AC Power Failures which cause sudden shutdowns are the cause of
many AOO Problems.
Should the AOO Installation site STRONGLY recommend the use of Uninterruptible
power Supplies with non-laptop computers?
Users might be unhappy with paying for UPSes, but they are a small expense
relative to the pain of serious data loss and corruption of profiles.
