Other posts say there's works, I suggest you open a document of at least
half a meg, allow an autosave, then just pull the plug, only then can
you see if this is working.
Sorry for my delay in replying I'm only now getting to my e-mails and it
is just after 6pm in Hong Kong
My cry would be that the document is too big. Split it and take out the
pictures. Also get yourself a second inverter as the capacity on the
existing one is not enough.
A half meg document is too big? Could of fooled me; I've a 14MB document
open now that I'm working on. It's a tech manual with 30 pages of frames
& illustrations and it's just fine.
As you have cut my comments in half let me spell this out.
It's not necessary, everyone can read the thread, including your
previous comments. I didn't cut your comments in half, I only commented
on your last regarding that a half a meg document is too big.
The original problem was submitted by someone whose pc has been
continually crashing due to the fact that his power supply was
overloaded. The computer was obviously VERY VERY slow when it saved the
OOo document as the crashes were coming thick and fast.
You obviously didn't read Richard's posts, or I missed a few; there is
no mention of "crashes coming thick and fast".
The obvious
solution for him was to cut down the size of document he was using.
Nonsense. He didn't mention the size of his documents & only stated "I
suggest you open a document of at least half a meg, allow an autosave,
then just pull the plug,".
I
also have some suspicions that the continual failures of his machine
have caused hardware problems for that machine, but that is his problem.
That particular OOo user had a HARDWARE problem, that he was then
blaming on OOo when the hardware needed to be sorted first before any
blame could be attached to any version of OOo. Personally I have just
finished writing 3 documents one of 2MB, one of 8MB and another of 11MB
all with OpenOffice 3.0 and I have had no problems whatsoever including
bullet points or any other the other gripes with OOo. Running OOo 3.0 on
Windows Vista Home Basic.
But I imagine that if you do as suggested: open a document of at least
half a meg, allow an autosave, then just pull the plug" you will
experience the issue that he was referring to, and to which Hagar has
identified as http://qa.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=92968
Thanks

Unfortunately I could pull the plug a dozen times and would not have the
same problem as I use a portable and the battery would prevent me from
having a problem of losing data.
Power is DEFINITELY under this users control. There is a problem with
OOo 3.0 and the autosave BUT until he has his power supply problem under
control he has no cause to rant and rave over a problem with Ooo that he
could cure by sorting out the power supply problem.
