THANKS ...WILL GIVE IT A TRY
it will prob be an unusable mess but try making a copy of the file and
changing the extension to .zip. put it in a directory somewhere and
unzip it. rummage around in 'content.xml' and see if you can do
anything with it. some find '<table>' and replace with '\r<table>' -
putting a newline before table entries, might make some of it legible.
I don't know how to use tools for editing xml but maybe there's some
recourse there.
if the zip is corrupt there are some things out there to try to fix
'em.
grasping at straws....

Subject: Re: Lost info
That means that your file is corrupt. The best way to configure AOO
under these circumstances is to enable the auto-save feature located
on Tools -> Options -> Load/Save -> General
Reduce the minutes of saving, and also enable the option of:
- Edit document properties before saving
- Always save a backup copy
This will ensure all your work is saved from the start and continually
being saved every 3-5 minutes (depending on how much you reduce the
autosave).
This way your work will not be lost.

I have an Acer (all in one) desktop computer. Z5610. I was having trouble
with continual instantaneous shutdowns. This I found was/is a problem with
this unit, which I have now fixed.
However, in one of these “shutdowns”, I lost all info on 2 spreadsheets
that
I was using.
Now when I open these spreadsheets, a get a Grey Box stating :
Text ….The name of my file
Character Set UNICODE
Default Language English (Australian).
And so on
When I click OK ...the Spreadsheet opens, but is TOTALLY blank.
Question: How do/can I recover this information.
