I create and work on open office draw documents daily. Most of the time I save them and can reopen them with no issues. Although a couple of weeks ago and again today when I went to open a draw document a ASCII BOX FIRST POPS UP, so at first I just hit okay not understanding what it was and instead of opening my draw doc it opens up a writer document, which I never use and on the screen appears a document with the letter y covering the entire document. Hundereds of the letter y.
Since then I have tried to cancel that box when it pops up, and have hit every other single thing on there hoping it would just open my document. AND NOTHING, IT EITHER OPENS THE WRITER OR CANCELS IT OUT COMPLETELY.
I have found no explanation online for this issue and cannot figure it out. I have hundreds of hours into these documents and need to be able to retrieve them. WILL SOMEONE PLEASE PLEASE HELP!!
ALSO ONE MORE ISSUE, A LOT OF MY DOCUMENTS SOMETIMES AFTER I SAVE THEM WILL SHOW AS BEING LOCKED DOCUMENTS, AND I ALSO AM UNABLE TO UNLOCK THESE DOCUMENTS.
THANK YOU I APPRECIATE ALL THE HELP YOU PROVIDE.
