The ruined manuscript.
I have been writing a novel with a deadline on the 26th of November, now I made
the mistake of trusting Open Office writer as my word document. This was a
mistake as now, 5 days before my deadline, my manuscript has become completely
hashtags. This is very urgent and I am not able to rewrite the whole document
before the deadline as i am actually only a 12 year old who has lots on her
mind and would frankly be too unfocused to complete the task. Anyways I used my
computer like normal yesterday, I watched a few movies, updated the manuscript
then put it on sleep and went to bed. I awoke this morning went on my daily
duties and then I came home and went to edit the manuscript to find it was
ruined, I swear I never want to see a hashtag again for the rest of my life!
a very angry author,
Rebekah

That is nonsense.

The document is indeed empty.
Do you have enabled generating backups in Tools > Options > Load/Save >
General? Then you might find a previous version in the folder, which is listed
in Tools > Options > Paths > Backup.
The attached file has filename extension .rtf. You should avoid using alien
formats, but always save in the native format of an application. Only in the
very last step convert it, if the recipient insists on a special file format.
I close the issue, because without any hint, what has happened, there is
nothing that can be "fixed". Feel free to reopen the issue, if you can give a
reproducible way to produce such damaged file.

Unfortunately your file is kaputt.
Two important lesson to learn from this:
1) Do not use freeware for a mission-critical work;
2) Make regular backups on separate media.
