This will recover your file as it was when you last opened or you last saved it. If your file is opening as ###, it is damaged - possibly because of over-hasty power off of the computer before the internal buffers in the hard drive had written to disk. If it is asking for selection of an ASCII filter, it is also most likely damaged and experience shows that you should not waste any time with your existing file - it will have no usable content. Concentrate on the recovery methods outlined in the tutorial. Do these actions as soon as possible. -- 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
