Which is detected in case of of chrash, and recovered. As far as i know, OO does this, MS word does this - even vim does this! That is why you can recover documents never ever saved. But i have seen cases where it haven't worked - looks like OO haven't detected where the file was. Or it was never created. When that is said, i have used oo for about 1½ year now, and can only remember two bad crashes - and in only one case i was unable to recover. I remember cursing word many, many times more
