Thank you very much for the confirmation Dennis, however unfortunate.
I do appreciate the work you did to help.
I guess my next problem to solve is... why did this happen?
It seems a tough nut to crack.
There are obviously bugs in any software.
However, there may well also be a hardware issue involved here.
I'll start a different thread to see if there can be help resolving that
dilemma.

Thanks for sending me the file.
WinZip confirmed that the file is damaged and not usable.
I looked at it in a hex editor and confirmed that it is indeed an ODF Text
(.odt) file. The initial part of the Zip is there, and then suddenly the data
is all zeros starting in the middle of a PNG image that is part of the
document. The file is completely 00 bytes until nearly the end, where a part
of the file entry for META-INF/manifest.xml appears. Even that appears to be
damaged and the end of the file may have been truncated or not produced yet.
There is no recoverable information of any value whatsoever in the file.
Sorry,
- Dennis

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.

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.

Hi :)
If it's saved in odt or docX then you could try opening the file with
an archive
manager. I might be able to have a look in Ubuntu using LibreOffice
3.3.2 if
you send me the attachment off-list.
Regards from
Tom :)

I do not know if this will help, but viewers can be more forgiving than
editors.
Try
http://www.officeviewers.com/
or
http://visioo-writer.tuxfamily.org/EN/index_3.html
if it does - you will have to copy& paste back into LO again
you might have to google a few more until you find one that works.

Hoping for some good news here.
Am using the openSuSE branded version of LibreOffice 3.3.3 OOO330m19
(Build:301) tag libreoffice-3.3.3.1 on openSuSE 11.3 and KDE 4.4.4-1.5.
Was editing a document that is pretty important (to me at least) and
during
the process had tried to add a footnote.
I was editing the text in the footnote and almost immediately there
was some
flashing of the screen and LibreOffice crashed, locking up the
entire PC.
No mouse control, no keyboard control, nothing.
So I had to "reset" the PC.
Now the document is fubar. When I try to open it, LibreOffice
attempts to
recover but fails.
Then it tries to repair the file but opens only a blank page.
I've tried to open it without an extension and get a list of a
variety of
application types to attempt any modicum of recovery, but no matter
what I
try to open it with it either fails, or opens in a file of unreadable
gibberish.
I'd be THRILLED if someone would be able to actually recover this
document
for me.
Nothing secret in it, I'd be happy to email it to anyone who'd like
to give
it a try. Even just to get back the text out of it so that I could
rebuild
would be fabulous.
Any chance at all to recover?
