need help fixing or restoring a file
Hello,
I've tried looking on Community Support Forum and am not having success.
I am running HP Windows Vista to create and edit this document in Open Office 4.1.3. Thus far, it's been the only document I've had difficulty with. Maybe it's important to know the document was originally created (same computer and OO version) april 28, 2016 and has been saved and added to since that date. Recently, within the past week or so, I opened the document, added an entry, then I believe closed and saved the document. I unplugged the computer to move it to another room. When I attempted to open the document (which was approximately 14 pages in length??), it now shows up as row upon row of #######. And a message box comes up asking for ASCII Filter Options. No matter what I seem to put in (I'm in United States, Massachusetts) it still comes up with #####.
On the Community Support page posts from maybe 2016, it said to try opening a new blank document and then choose Insert file. Still ####. I've tried to cut a portion of the #### into a new OO document but that doesn't fix the problem either.
I've uninstalled the 4.1.3 version. I attempted to install the 4.1.7? version but I don't know if this is correct or what operating system to choose. Should I just look for the 4.1.3 version and try reinstalling that - hoping that will fix my ### document problem??
Thank you,
Mary Lippoth

An OpenOffice file showing ### is utterly corrupt and there will be no usable information in it. Use the information below to attempt to find a complete or partial copy, or revert to a backup copy.
The file is damaged beyond repair, possibly due to disconnection from the remote location because of connection failure before the file was fully transmitted, or over hasty power off of your computer or closure of laptop lid, before the file housekeeping had been transmitted
As soon as possible try the methods in this tutorial
https://forum.openoffice.org/en/forum/viewtopic.php?f=71&t=85038
for detailed instructions on how to
a) use Previous Versions (W7 and later) to recover previous versions of the file.
b) recover your file as it was when you last opened or saved it, or as it was when it was last saved with AutoRecovery;
c) find previous versions of the file in the folder it is located in, but which have since been deleted;
d) un-delete the temporary files AOO wrote while you were editing the file, and then deleted. This may recover your file as it was when you last opened or you last saved it.
