I haven't read the chapter yet, but I troubleshoot computer stuff for a living. I could possibly help?

Oh, and so that doesn't sound creepy or weird, I'm a student technician and technology tutor at my university, as well as a technology consultant. lol

Well, it's worth the try! I use open office, and last week when I opened it, it gave a warning about some file being corrupted and I clicked okay and I have no idea what happened. It wasn't the fic file, but when I opened it, it showed some encoded text thing and all I got after that were ##### instead of the actual characters.

All of the other files work just fine, but this one, though it still says it's 167kb it doesn't show anything at all. :'(

First, let's see if there's a back up.
Are you using Windows? Have you checked the Open Office back-up files? They automatically back up, unless it's been disabled (but its default setting is to enable it). It should be in a file that looks like this: Application Data\OpenOffice.org\user\backup - Or you can check where it is in Tools>Options>Paths>Back Up. Anyway, is a file in there?

If there isn't anything in there or you didn't have back-ups enabled...well...we'll see. OpenOffice is kind of mean like that.

Nope, it's empty. :'(

Do you know how to change the extensions of file names? Make a copy of the file, and then change the the new copy's extension from .odt to .zip and see if you can unzip it. If it's 100% corrupt, it won't work - if it's fixable, it'll unzip into several parts, one of which would be a content.xml file. If it's saveable then the content.xml should have your content in it. I'm thinking it might, since the file size is so massive!

Sorry to hear about what happened. It might help if you told us your computer specs and the OS that you're running and what methods you've tried to recover the file. I don't know if you've tried the OOo community forum but here's a link to a specific thread that sounds similar to your situation (http://user.services.openoffice.org/en/forum/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=17677&sid=da5bd66bbb551c79404a664858582865); if you scroll to the middle they give me more links to similar topic threads. Don't mean to be a downer, but that file might be really corrupted and unrecoverable ( ... )

Oops. Sounds like you guys have it in hand! Good luck!

thek8lyn October 16 2010, 02:54:51 UTC

Yes! *points at that and nods* That's where I run to when OpenOffice kerfuffles. Well, before I stopped OpenOffice-ing.

putakeepareyou October 16 2010, 02:59:37 UTC

OOh! I'ma try these things! Brb with the results!
