Hi Classmates, 

I've got a macbook pro with a fairly recent version of mac os. Lion I think. 

The client had a song he'd written in open office I believe the extension is odt. 

He has accidentally deleted 80% of the document and saved it. I'm in finder but not seeing any obvious options for previous versions of the file. Does anyone know how to check that or a tool for viewing shadow copies.... in Mac? 

Thanks guys...

Try looking here otherwise image the drive and carve unallocated space to see if you can find any of the document Open Office makes backups of the file while its open like MS office does and stores the temp files in the user folder below.

For Mac users:
  • /Users/<user name>/Library/Application Support/OpenOffice.org/3/user
    NB: on OS X version 10.7.xx (Lion) the user/library can be accessed in finder by holding down the option key an clicking on Go on the menubar. Then select the user library.
    This is one of nineteen ways to see the user library. See 18 ways to view the ~/Library folder in Lion
