--- Comment #4 from Mark Bourne <[email protected]> ---
It looks like that file is corrupt. If Writer can't work out any other format
for the file, it interprets as plain text. The garbage seen is the raw data
from the file, with hashes (#) for non-printable characters.

In this file, it looks like there is some other garbage (possibly a fragment of
a different file) at the beginning, and data is missing from the end. Looks a
crash (or disk disconnect or failure) in the middle of writing the file has
messed up the file system entries. (Was this on a removable disk? Did you
remove the disk immediately after saving the file?)

I don't know what Mac OSX's disk error checking / recovery utility is
(equivalent of scandisk on Windows or chkfs on Linux). It might be able to find
the error and orphaned parts of the file, or a previous version of it, although
that's unlikely if the disk has still been used for the last couple of months.
