After a system restart, am unable to open a text file previously
backed up
I need help in recovering a text file, a book, I have been writing and saving every 15 minutes or so.
My laptop running Windows 10 version 1511, IE 11.20.10586.0 and using Apache Open Office 4.1.2 had a abrupt browser blank-out. Before restarting my system to clear the problem, I saved the Open Office file. After restarting my system, Open Office didn’t have any files I have been working on in the platform que. I went to “documents” and opened the file I was wanting to return to and it said it was restricted and could only be seen in a read-only mode. However, when I said I wanted to see a copy, all that was displayed were screens of “X”s. Can you advise me how to recover?
Thanks, John

In other words, AT&T currently believes that 213.233.128.43 (=
mail1.vodafone.ie - presumably your outgoing mail server) "has been
identified as a source of spam".
Sorbs.net says:

Oh, indeed.

Rejecting mail from private servers used only or mainly for
distributing undesirable material makes sense. Rejecting mail from a
mail provider on the grounds that one of its users - or probably even
someone improperly using an account - has sent undesirable material
via its servers perhaps makes less sense.

Thanks for the explanation, Brian. I'm at the stage where I don't bother to follow these things up - I know my computer(s) don't transmit any spam. As I said before in another posting, are US ISPs common carriers or not? They have no business interfering with legitimate emails. I'm going to make a complaint to the FCC in USA.

You should look in the backup and temporary directories pointed to by /Tools /Options /OpenOffice : Paths. Rename any files in those to the file type you were using and see if they contain your data.
No matter what format you were working to, run an undelete utlity such as Recuva or PhotoRec and see if it will find some deleted temporary file holding some or all of your data. I'd start with Recuva or PhotoRec (you only need one of these, and the sooner the better, as c0ontinued use of the computer might overwrite any deleted image of your file).

Here is John's reply to Rory's advice. He sent it top my e-mail instead
of to the list so please excuse the mess of top and bottom posting and
threading issues. I will reply privately to John and explain that he
should reply only to the list and not anyone's e-mail address.
Regards
Keith

Rory and John;
I am forwarding this reply from Rory to John in hopes that it will get
