I think that if you want to save the contents of this file, you should
unzip the document and save the contents.xml. To reconstruct the
document do the following:

     1. Open and save an empty document, say, empty.sxw
     2. mkdir reconstruct
     3. cd reconstruct
     4. unzip <path_to>/empty.sxw
     5. rm content.xml
     6. cp <path_to>/saved_content.xml .
     7. zip -r ../reconstruct.sxw * (or whatever suse needs)
     8. Use OOo to open reconstruct.swx and rebuild.

This is brute force, I know, but it does work when the contents.xml are
intact. That the OOo file got damaged in the first place is odd but
hardware failures even intermittent ones can do this. Ensure that you
have autosave and make backups enabled in your copy of OOo that way you
have a good chance for recovery. In the case of your system, I would
recommend that you throughly check its integrity especially memory.
