You should look in the backup and temporary directories pointed to by /Tools /Options /OpenOffice : Paths. Rename any files in those to type .odt (or whatever file type you were using) and see if they contain your data. Download Recuva or PhotoRec (only one needed) and let it do an indepth recovery of deleted files on your computer. You may get a file containing some or all of your data (or not). Also rename the file to type .zip, then double click it - the computer's archive manager will attempt to open it. If it doesn't open, it may be repairable with some zip file repair utility. If it does open extract content.xml; in that, you should find the data, but unformatted. Quite frankly, my experience advising users with a similar problem on the OO Forum leads me to hold out little hope of any full or partial recovery using the .zip file method, although there are occasionally successes using that method. It is slightly more likely that you may recover a temporary file using Recuva or PhotoRec; the sooner this is tried the better, as continued use of the computer runs the risk of overwriting any deleted image of the file in question. > > > -----Original Message----- > > From: Numir Idrees [mailto:numir.idr...@gmail.com] > > Sent: Monday, January 4, 2016 23:30 > > To: users@openoffice.apache.org > > Subject: ODS File > > > > hi > > i have ods file which is damage without no reason > > is there any way to fix this file as its important for me > > > > thanks > > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@openoffice.apache.org > For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@openoffice.apache.org > > -- Rory O'Farrell <ofarr...@iol.ie> --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@openoffice.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@openoffice.apache.org
