RE: new version of OO?

[Mike C. Baker]

Got my new version TODAY.  [4.1.14, Windows version]
Still investigating whether or not this solves my recent issues with the 
previous build.

Re: File is damage

[Andrew Pitonyak]

Copy the file (yes, make a copy) and name the file something like 

x.zip

See if the file can be opened. ODT files are stored in a ZIP format so you 
should be able to see the files. If the file cannot be opened as a ZIP then the 
file is likely not recoverable. If you are able to open the ZIP file then you 
at least know that something is correct with the file. Note that some data can 
be recovered directly from the ZIP file but it is not a pleasant nor a fast 
solution. 

If the file is NOT sensative (but I suspect that it is) you can directly send 
me an email with the file off list and I can take a peek at the file for you. 
Note that the first thing that I will do, however, is to make a copy with a ZIP 
file extension and see if I can unzip the file; something that you can likely 
do yourself. 

Also take a look at the file length. 

Finally, and I should have asked this first, any chance you have a backup of 
the file?

If your file is named something like "bob.odt", in that same directory is there 
another file that starts with the name bob? That might be instructive.

Set File Associations to tell Windows which application to use to open and edit 
a file.  Right click on each type of OpenOffice file you use, and from the 
popup, select to use OpenOffice to open that file.  I think you may have to use 
"other applications" (words to that effect) at he bottom of the list, and 
navigate to find OpenOffice - it may be soffice.exe.

I do not use current Windows, so cannot give more precise instructions.

Windows is freezing my work. Open Office 4.1.13

[keith Harrison]

When I have documents made up through open office, micro soft then freezes my 
files and ask me to sign up with them for a fee..
How can I get Windows from kidnapping and extorting my files. I don't want to 
pay Microsoft when I can use Apache which works great 

Can they legally covert and freeze Apache documents on my computor.?
kindest regards.

If the file was last edited recently the methods in this tutorial may help 
recover it:

[url=https://forum.openoffice.org/en/forum/viewtopic.php?f=71&t=85038][Tutorial]
 How to find and un-delete AOO temporary files[/url] for detailed instructions 
on how to

a) use Previous Versions (W7 and later) to recover previous versions of the 
file (is there something similar on MacOS and Linux?);

b) recover your file as it was when you last opened or saved it, or as it was 
when it was last saved with AutoRecovery;

c) find previous versions of the file in the folder it is located in, but which 
have since been deleted;

d) un-delete the temporary files AOO wrote while you were editing the file, and 
then deleted. This will recover your file as it was when you last opened or you 
last saved it.

You could try running an undelete utility (you will have to download one); 
PhotoRec or Recuva can be effective.

When you try to open the file, is there any error message?; does it display 
onscreen full of ## or other characters, sometimes  characters.

File is damage

[Sílvia Ribeiro]

Good afternoon,

I need help, I have an *.odt file
that cannot be opened, with very important content, do you have any
suggestions to eventually repair any hypothesis that I still need to
test, thank you.

Best regards,

Silvia
