All is not necessarily lost. I should cull the threads I have linked. The
first 3 are usually cited by hol.sten who seems to have some expertise at
recovering data from corrupt files. Here are my unabridged notes:

One user: Thanks for the effort! Here's how I did it:
1. renamed the defective file extension to .zip
2. extracted content of the .zip file
3. opened content.xml with Dreamweaver, selected in the view menu to show
errored lines (shows the bad text with yellow background) and removed them.
4. did the same with style.xml
5. updated the .zip file and renamed it back to .ods
Some styling was removed but the file worked and all the data was in it!
