Try and setup bak up files

In Open / Libre Office open menu- Tools -> Options -> Load/Save -
General and select Always create a bak up copy

Also select Save Autorecovery Information every "foo x" minutes (mine is 5)

Next  In the openoffice.org sub menu go to paths and (if need be)
change the path of where your autobak up files are . I keep them in a
directory  call autobakup in my home which means that even when i
refresh my system the bak up files remain.

I had a closer look at the ms word / adobe distiller file and my
impression is that it was more the user than the software - the font
rendering is equally bad (tested by printing a page)
