    Help me apolyton, you are my only hope!

    God, what a start to my day.

    I've been working for the last few weeks on my spreadsheet. I was just about finished it last night. I was quite looking forward to send it out today.

    Here's the deal. Vista was *****ing about wanting to do an update. I told it to wait until I had the time, which was not right now as I was busy.

    My file is saved I go to bed and I crash. Get up, Vista has completed its update and I am asked by Open Office if I want to do a document recovery. I'm like wtf? I click yes. Open office recovers my document from 3! days ago!!

    What the hell?! It overwrites my current version of the spreadsheet meaning I've lost 3 days of work. Is there any way I can restore the earlier version?

      Restore your backup of the file.

          what backup?

          I already said that it overwrote what I had it saved as. Open Office recovery can kiss my ass for screwing me over and restoring a document that it never should have tried to recover.

              So, in some areas of East Asia, it's very difficult to pry a negative answer from the locals, largely because they're polite, even if you're an offensive foreign devil--this often leaves the original inquirer confused as to what the actual answer to the question was.

              To answer your OP:

              Yes.

                          Apparently it is a huge bug with autosave.

                          Not only does the autosave suck and slow me down, it doesn't even actually save the document. What genius came up with that one? The whole point of autosave is that so if the program actually crashes, you can recover the last autosave not the last ****ing save.

                          And props to Vista for crashing out Open Office rather then being able to successfully close it! Why am I not allowed more then 4 hours to delay an update!
