When this happens, however it happens, that is really the content of the file and that is all there is. The best precaution is to not save over the previous copy but save with a new name (put a date in the name or use a sequence number). Then you at least can fall back to the one you made the failed one from. This precaution works for a number of other problems as well. If you want, you can upload the file as an attachment here, and we can inspect it to confirm whether there is recoverable content. This is the first of the cases identified in Issue 126846. I am extracting the essential information here so we have an identified issue for this individual case. I failed to find an existing separate issue about it. "Hagar Delest has carefully listed the posts where users have lost data at 22 pages term paper replaced with pound signs, where he has collected over two hundred (224 to date) cases." That is at https://forum.openoffice.org/en/forum/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=17677 The forum topic includes some cases beside the "#" case. This issue is for tracking the "#" issue only. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the issue.
