The user thinks that 'Cancel' is confusing and could cause someone to think to
cancel loading openoffice instead of cancel recovery of the document. Perhaps
changing Cancel to Cancel Recovery or something like that would be more obvious
to the user?

From the Ubuntu bug report:

"
When openoffice has been killed without document changes saved, and then started
up again, a document recovery window appears and you have the option to "Start
Recovery" or "Cancel." Since you just started openoffice, when you read the
"Cancel" option it is very likely you will think it means that you are going to
cancel the opening of openoffice which you don't want to do. If the message said
something like, "Don't recover." and in the text above that explains these,
"Don't recover, if you would rather never recover the documents below." or
something like that. You are likely a good word smith, and can improve on it,
but the present "Cancel" is misleading.

This is even more annoying because if you read a document from the web that is
stored in /tmp and then you reboot, that file doesn't exist, and so it remains
on the list to recover, but fails every time. What you really need to do is
press "Cancel," but that sounds so much like saying "I don't want to open
openoffice that you just keep dealing with the recovery window. At least I did!
