HI, everyone, I had a drawing I created in OO draw, and wanted to edit it. I opened it, made the changes, then saved it. I was talking to my wife during this process, and a message window came up saying that some bits might not be saved in the PNG format. I clicked OK, and closed the application after the save. Later I came back to work on it, and the drawing had a size of 0. It was gone. Now, I'm no artist, so it takes me a long time to generate a drawing I can use for something, on the order of days. In this case I lost a week or so's work. So I thought, maybe OO draw saved a temp version. I thought I can just open OO draw and maybe recapture the whole thing. However I cannot find Open Office draw either. I have Calendar, Dia diagram editor, Invest Chart, J-Pilot, Presentation, Project Management, Spreadsheet, Tasks, and Word Processing under the Office menue of Applications. I already tried removing and re-installing Open Office Draw using the Applications-add/remove software tool, but no joy.
I am sure I have a copy on my backup, so I can recover the drawing, but what gives with Open Office Draw? Am I the only one with this problem? Where would I invoke OO draw directly?

If its any consolation Les, I just checked my kmenu display and draw is indeed missing. I didn't notice cuz I'm even less of an artist.
yum install openoffice.org-draw
IIRC my OOo install is 2.3.0 from OOo, not the repos.
skip the morning caffeine?
Or have some more, neither of which would help my 11 left thumbs ability to draw, which has not measurably improved in 73 years. I can write gcode to carve usefull metal pieces, but that's about it.
