Document Recovery window appears

The Document Recovery window comes up every time I open LO. When I Start
Recovery "Recovery failed" comes up. Closing out window I can continue
with LO. I have uninstalled and reinstalled LO, but it is still happening.

Thanks for help.

Next time the Document Recovery window appear press Esc instead of the
things you name above.

Saw this tip while lurking on this list and it worked for me.

Hi :slight_smile:
Cancel the recovery instead of trying to recover. That should clear
it and usually opens the document more correctly too.

I stated to do the "renaming" of the preferences folder, since that was the only way I could get it to stop trying to recover a file that is not longer on the system. I could get into LO and work on documents, but every time I started LO it tried to recover the missing file. So there was something "wrong" with the file what includes the recovery info when you start up.

I never seen the "Esc" option before, or not remember seeing it.

Hi :slight_smile:
I thought he just meant the Escape key on the keyboard. It does about
the same as the "Cancel" button within the dialogue-box itself

I did mean the Esc key. And, at least on my system, it did make the always
appearing "Document Recovery" dialog stop showing up when none of the
dialog box controls would.
