Disappearing Libre Office docs.

[pelouk]

I'm using LL 2.4 on this old computer and I've just spent a couple of hours typing some word documents in Libre Office, saving each doc to a folder I created on my desktop. I continued typing on a fresh page and suddenly all the text of my previous pages disappeared. I did not delete anything and did not consciously hit any "weird" keys. I seem to have lost one saved doc and all but one line of the doc I'm currently working on.

I don't have a trash icon on my desktop and can't even find the folder to check it. Does anyone have an idea what I might have done wrong?

Thanks
