There are many other components in an OpenOffice file - style, metadata and 
setting information - which bulk up the archive.  Rename the file to type .zip, 
open it with an archive manager and examine content.xml with a plain text 
editor.  That component will contain the data of the file.

It can happen that if a computer is powered down too quickly, or a laptop lid 
closed, before the OpenOffice housekeeping data has been written to the disk 
platters, the file can be corrupted.
