Every time I start OpenOffice a lot of old documents are loaded automatically
 

Hi everybody,

I'm used to open a lot of documents, work on they, and then turn off my laptop and go home, without closing the open office properly.. At the next day when I open a document all the documents that I worked in the last day are opened, so I should close 10 documents before start to work..

I'm running Fedora 11 and using, openoffice.org-core-3.1.1-19.2.fc11.i586
I've explored all the options menu and I can't get where is the correct option to disable this behavior!

Any advice will be appreciated.


Thanks

Hi,

Try this,
Tools -> Options -> Load/Save -> General ; under the section "Save", you've this option
Untick this option and save. This should solve your issue.

Let us know if this worked.

Thank you
Vishnu

Hi Vishnu,

That option is unticked right now, let me know if you have any other suggestion.

THanks!

...shut down the programs and the computer properly?:)

I turn off my computer properly.. but I don't close each open office window before shutdown the laptop..

it's a workaround, but I'm not used to have time to close all the apps.

One solution would be to hibernate rather than shut down.

Given your working habits it would be prudent to enable "Always create backup copy" rather than rely on OOo's document recovery procedures to stop losing your valuable work.

Thanks guys, but I couldn't change that behavior, i switched the default program for those documents to abiword and gnumeric, they are starting very quick, so I'll try to work with those programs, i don't need any special open office function, I'm not used to edit the documents that I open, I just need to view the documents.

Try setting KDE to start with an "Empty Session"
kcontrol in a terminal, then KDE Components -> Session Manager -> On login, Start with Empty Session
Apply.
Done.

Thanks for your answer but just for clarification. I had this issue opening an OO document, it's not a KDE problem, actually I'm using GNOME.
