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 may have been damaged 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=85038for 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.
