Some times I ask a question, sometimes I reply to someone else's question. Maybe a few developers read this list too, I don't know, but if you really want someone to dig into your problem it's probably better to file a bug report, if you are sure that you ran into a bug. Doing so you will need to provide much more information than you did here, though. Everything you can think of. What did you do when it crashed? What crashed (writer, calc etc.)? What version do you use? What is your operating system? What version of your operating system? What hat did you wear when Apache OpenOffice crashed? Anything you can think of. Too much information is better than too little. Ok, maybe you shouldn't mention your hat, but you know what I mean. > your program crashes constantly, needless to say all written information > is gone and cant be restored . What happens when you try to restore it? And how do you do that? Please is this now a permanent feature? > Yes, it's permanent. Some developer thought it was a good idea to let the application crash now and then, so he built in the randomCrash() method, which seems to work very well. No, just kidding. If your application crashes often, then something is obviously wrong. Either your system itself, the application or some setting somewhere. One thing to try is to reset your Apache OpenOffice user profile. Just give the folder a different name and restart Apache OpenOffice, and it will create a new, fresh one for you. If that works, that is if Apache OpenOffice no longer crashes, then you know that something in your old user profile caused the crashes. If crashes still occur, something else is wrong, and you could probably start using your old profile again, if it contains something useful for you. Since you didn't mention your operating system, I can't tell you where your profile folder is, but on my system it's at ~/.openoffice/4/ and it's called ”user”. Just rename it to something else, like user_old, restart Apache OpenOffice and now you have both user and user_old but only user is used. In your user_old you'll find things like your global macros, configurations, templates, extensions and more. If there is something that you really need, just copy it over to the new user profile.

Another option is of course to manually save every time you added something worth saving. That's very easy: Just press Ctrl+s. No need to even move your hand from the keyboard to the mouse to do such a basic thing. Kind regards Johnny Rosenberg Thanks > D Magdalene >
