Hi :) Yes, you can make a copy of the file and rename the file-ending of the copy from .odt to .zip. When you double-click on the file it should open in an "archive manager" such as WinZip, WinRar. Any images and stuff should be in a sub-folder with a suitable name. Most of the text is in "contents.xml". You could just right-click on the file and "Open with ..." an archive manager but renaming the file-ending might be the easier way of doing this first few times.
If you have a fairly recent copy of the file on usb-stick, flash-drive or attached in an email or something then that might be easier to bring back up to date.
