Hello Jason, Yes, that's what they call bad luck... If you have reserve copy activated, you may be find what OOo has kept for you at the location specified in your options: Tools > Options > Load/Save (or what's it called in English) > General BTW It's always best to specify another map that the usual backup map of your OS, so as to make sure that the system doesn't clear out your backups unbeknownst to you...
