[Bug 120373] New: Document Corrupted on file 'Save'.
https://issues.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=120373
Priority: P3
Bug ID: 120373
Assignee: ooo-issues@incubator.apache.org
Summary: Document Corrupted on file 'Save'.
Severity: critical
Issue Type: DEFECT
Classification: Application
OS: Windows 7
Reporter: amit_bvcxz@walla.com
Hardware: PC
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Version: AOO 3.4.0
Component: save-export
Product: word processor
Hello and thank you for your support.
I have been using the writer to write a simple document for a few years now,
this is the first, hopefully the last, time it happened.
I saved my work as per usual, but the very next time I attempted to open it, a
window labeled 'Ascii Filter Options' appeared, asking me about language and
ASCII options for the document. (So far, the document would just load normally
with the writer)
Image depicting the pop-up:

Regardless of my choices (I have tried any legitimate option), the document
displays as '########....' throughout the entire length (few hundreds of
pages). All the data has been replaces by '#####...'.
I have tried opening the document on two different machines (PC with WinXP and
a PC with Win7) and encountered the very same problem.
I have also attempted opening the document using a variety of other text
editors, including notepad and notepad++, where the document displays as blank
spaces throughout the entire length.
I have also tried to copy/paste the contents, but the #### remain ####, and the
blank spaces remain blank.
When I have opened the document in a Hex editor (FlexHex), I saw '000' for the
entire document.
Best regards and thanks again, Amit.
Further document and PC info below:
Document specifications:
-Document consists of a picture or two, then text from there on for a few
hundreds of pages
-Text written only using the 'David' font
-Some headlines and a single Index/Table used as table of contents
-Text written solely in English, black colored
PC:
Win7 OS, Intel i5 CPU, gigabyte-ud4 MB, WD 1TB HD.
P.S
I apologize if I sent it to the wrong section in the bug report, and ask to
forward this report if I indeed had.

I fear, the file is really lost. If you have already opened the file in an
hex-editor and it is totally empty, then the content cannot be recovered. I
hope you have made a backup copy in time.
Do you have enabled the backup feature in Apache OpenOffice itself? In that
case you might find a previous version of your file in the user folder in the
sub-folder "backup".
Such total lost is mostly no fault of Apache OpenOffice, but a problem with the
devise. Do you remember the circumstances of the last saving? Shut down without
unmounting the device? Unplug an external hard disk before closing all
applications?

No, the process, as far as I could tell, was no different than before.
I gradually used the windows built in file restore feature, to recover a
previous version of the document
