Oh wait, I have a bad feeling about this.
You don't still have the Kwrite file? You took the Kwrite file into LibreOffice and started to edit it? Did it ever get save as a different file, or did you save it atop the Kwrite file, with the original no-file-extension name? I'd like to see that too. The list won't transfer attachments. But you can send it as an attachment to me directly. I am very curious what beast that is. - Dennis -----Original Message----- From: JeepNut [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Saturday, July 23, 2011 18:21 To: [email protected] Subject: [libreoffice-users] Re: help recovering? Thanks for making a stab at this Tom. Here is the file. Was saved as a common text file originally with Kwrite so it had no file extension. Subsequently I got more complex with it and started edit it in LibreOffice. So I have to assume it saved as an .odt file, but the extension was never shown.
