Hi...
I was working on a sxw document, about 30 pages. It contained a lot of
text, some images, asome pieces of some spreadsheets (copied from Calc,
pasted into Writer) and some more stuff.
First I had a very strange situation. After page 26, I pasted a range of
cells from a spreadsheet (xls format, since it was created by someone
else using Excel). Before I did that I "created" the page by inserting a
page break, selecting a page style with the landscape format. This
became page 27. Then I did the same thing again for another range of
cells of that Excel file. I was then very surpriced to see that the new
page (also landscape) showed page number 29, not 28. I tried it several
times, after saving the document, but it was the same thing every time.
Since I made some meaningless changes since last time I saved, I chosed
to reload the last saved version. Then I got the famous Windows 98 blue
screen and I restarted my PC.
Now I can't open my document at all! Everytime the same thing happens:
Open Office caused an error (or something like that) and then the dialog
for filling in what happened.
I worked with this document for at least 5 hours, maybe 10 and I have
some kind of deadline. Is there anything I (or someone else) can do to
recover my lost document?
All kinds of help are appreciated.

Hi Johnny
I cannot say that I have any expertise in the matter, but I feel your
pain. Others more experienced may well come with better suggestions/
From comments I have read on the list, try saving a copy, rename to
~.zip and unzip the file. I presume you have 7-zip or similar. You can
then look at the components to see if anything is damaged.
If the worst comes to the worst I am willing to try opening the file on
my system if you like to send it off-list, and it is not too
confidential. At present I mostly using 2.0.3rc on a linux box, but I
have "standard" 2.0.2 as well. That may remove or introduce other
problems of course.
Best wishes
Russell

Yes, I could send it to you. The document is somewhat confidential, but it
is written in Swedish, so unless you understand Swedish I am not too
worried. However, I have fixed it now. I moved it to my girlfriend's lap
top and she has OOo 2.0 installed (AND 1.1.5 as well). I could open the
file on her lap top with 2.0 but NOT with 1.1.5, so I removed two
suspected pages in 2.0, saved it (with a new name) in 1.0 format and moved
it back to my desk top. Now I can open it here with 1.1.5. I lost 2 pages
there's not much work lost.
Thank you, for replying and worrying! =)
