Re: [libreoffice-users] corrupt .odt file
Hi :) I think start by deleting the ~lock file, or at least hide it in a zip-file you make for it. Then just see how your file looks and if it's close enough to easily re-create the missing data (if there is anything missing). When you say you have no back-up do have have a copy on usb-stick, an emailed copy or some other computer or network-share? Sometimes people don't realise that they have backed something up in that way and don't think of them as back-ups as it's not formal and deliberate. 'Accidental' back-ups are just as good tho! :) Also check the Tools - Options - Paths to see where LO might be saving back-ups if you have enabled that option.

Re: [libreoffice-users] corrupt .odt file
Hi :) Hmm, something else is to make a copy of the .odt and rename it's file-ending from .odt to .zip and then double-click to open it in an archive manager. Inside there the file contents.xml might contain a lot of the data. It's easier to read in non-Windows platforms or use a decent text-editor such as Notepad++ or SciTe or something. Notepad can't colour-code the tags and things which makes it difficult to separate the tags from the contents visually. Most other platforms have a decent text-editor by default. Look for the words Plain text in the status-bar and click on it or hunt in the View menu for an option to display the file as html, or css, or xml instead of viewing as plain text.
