Hi everyone,
I'm new to OpenOffice and wasn't aware of the known bugs surrounding comments and the Record Changes feature. I edited and saved an important file for work (it's due today) and now I cannot retrieve the changes. When I try to open the file, I get the following error:
Read-Error
Format error discovered in the file sub-document context...
Great.
I've uploaded the damaged file to:

Could somebody please help me fix it? I need it in .doc/.docx format. Thanks in advance.

You are strongly recommended to swap to LibreOffice where this and other bugs have been fixed.
