For example, for our portable version of LibreOffice, the user profile folder is at C: Users Lori Documents Portable Software LibreOffice Data settings user. MacOS To find out where your user profile is located in LibreOffice for Mac, open any of the LibreOffice programs and go to LibreOffice Preferences. If you don't have access to an Apple operating system, use Apple's no-cost 'in-browser' version of Pages to export it in a format that you can open with LibreOffice. Unfortunately, Pages doesn't have OpenDocument (ODT) export, (as of 2015), but it does have DOCX (Microsoft Word) and PDF (Portable Document Format) exports.

Unsaved LibreOffice document recovery

LibreOffice gives you the opportunity to recover an unsaved document with the help of its integrated tools. For example, if a document was closed without saving, the program will suggest saving it when you open it next time. The programs included in this package have an autosave function.

In order to restore an unsaved LibreOffice document, do the following:

• Open the document which was closed without saving, and the program will suggest recovering the unsaved document.

• Click «Start» and the document will be recovered.

LibreOffice backup copy recovery

If for some reason the program didn’t suggest autorecovery for an autosaved document, it can also be recovered from a backup copy which LibreOffice creates automatically. To do it:

• Open a LibreOffice Writer or Calc document

• Go to the menu Tools / Options.

• In the opening window, find the LibreOffice / Paths menu and select it.

If you follow the path, in “backup” folder you will find the latest file which you can use to recover the autosaved document. To open it, start the corresponding LibreOffice program and open the backup copy (.bak) with the menu File / Open.

LibreOffice backup copies are saved to this folder:
C:UsersUserNameAppDataRoamingLibreOffice4userbackup

Please note that the LibreOffice option to create autosave copies is disabled by default. To enable it, go to the menu Tools / Options / Load/SaveGeneral, and check the box next to «Always create backup copy» and «Save AutoRecovery information every…».

Now backup copies will be created automatically every time the file is saved.

Grateful for any advice. Running Mac OS 10.14.5 on mid-2014 MacBook Pro 2.5 i7.Just cancelled Office 365 sub. Attempting to reset LibreOffice as default app for .xlsx, .docx, .pptx files etc. but MS Office for Mac fired up every time, despite holding option and selecting LO as 'everytime'. Deleted MS Office for Mac apps to resolve issue and now when trying to open any files created in MS Office for mac I get the message: ' '[file]' is damaged and can’t be opened. You should move it to the Trash.'Any help appreciated. Many thanks.

Can't help wondering exactly which application is telling you that the file is (supposedly) damaged. Is it some pernicious remnant of MS Office, or is it your Operating System, or is it LibreOffice itself that is telling you that??

Thanks for responding. It's an OS message. Just noticed that when attempting to change default app for a .docx file it initially shows as 'Microsoft Word Document', then, when option-right clicking to 'always open with' LibreOffice the description changes to '3rd party formats' and I get the 'file is damaged' message.

Have you tried opening the file(s) from LibreOffice instead of Finder?

Thank you. I have now, and they seem to open without issue from within LibreOffice. Any idea why that would be?

Libreoffice For Mac Catalina

Rule #1: DON'T PANIC!

My guess is the uninstallation of Office went pear-shaped at some point. Out of curiousity how did you uninstall? Uninstaller? Dragged the app to the Trash? AppCleaner? As @ve3oat said above I think it's also a 'pernicious remnant' of Office.

Thanks @gtomorrow. I'll come clean and admit that I couldn't find the uninstaller on my system (certain there was one with previous MS Orifice versions) so dragged them to the trash as was getting with them starting when they shouldn't. I just assumed (ass: me) that MS had got their act together and gone all clean and tidy.

Also thanks @gtomorrow for the solution. Will you rewrite your comment as an Answer, for the record? (As for me, I don't have a Mac so could not help beyond my initial comment.)

@Skizz dragging an app to the Trash does in fact uninstall but that method leaves behind a bunch of satellite files and in my experience Microsoft products (like Adobe products) spew the files all over the HD, some even hidden. If you have any doubt to what you're doing, don't search and destroy! I can't stress that enough.

@ve3oat thanks but Rule #1/opening files from the app instead of the file manager are so fundamental I couldn't even consider them as an 'answer'. If they were I could resolve at least 50% of the problems on this site! :D

@Skizz one last note: https://support.office.com/en-US/arti...

@gtomorrow Yes and I know exactly what you mean. On the other hand, getting the question marked as Answered would help to educate those users who might look for that answer before posting the same old question yet again.
