@Adrian32 - Please follow the advice of @Lupp.
Here is something additional for the future; you can use it if you like:
Very often I see questions on how to recover lost files. Better than attempting to recover lost data is prepare against the loss of data. To avoid a loss of a file these are 3 recommendations:
1 Check the following LibO options: Tools > options > Load/Save > General
- Save Autorecovery every x mins (the shorter the value the small a possible loss; I use 3 min)
- Automatically save document too ( I don't use this, because I regard the autorecoverz function as excellent.)
- Always create a backup copy (download and read the free of charge LibO guide to understand how this works)
2 When you work more than a day on a file, create additional daily back ups. I use the format "filename_yymmdd.ext"
and I keep at least 1 previous version.
In case the file is extremely important and I work long hours non-stop, I add the actual time behind the date.
3 Backup the HDD in your computer onto an external HDD. External HDD in the range of 2-4 TB cost mostly less than 100 EUR. (I do this almost daily and even backup my external HDD onto another external HDD.)
