Crash recovery
OpenOffice.org and LibreOffice always used to do this much better than Microsoft, but my understanding is that Microsoft has made more of an effort
more recently.
It is also useful if the program gets unexpectedly closed (for example by a reboot).
- nopenopenopeno 5y agoI’m not so sure. I lost a day of school work in November because Word crashed and I wasn’t syncing the file to the cloud. It seems you need to use the cloud service for decent crash recovery.
- ghostly_s 5y agoMy experience is that every Enterprise IT department deploys their Office installs / workstations in such a way as to render Office's crash recovery useless.
- jamesy0ung 5y agoI usually save every time I make a major change (around an hour)
- folmar 5y agoOffice 97 has autosave, which works quite nice, I'd say better than current Office but worse then Open/LibreOffice.
- hulitu 5y agoWorks quiet nice until it crashes and corrupts both the autosave file and your working document. First thing i do after i install office is disable autosave. Got bitten badly.
