Corrupt file on LibreOffice

Hi! I'm having the same problem as above. Specifically: I was working in LibreOffice on a .docx document even though I don't have word on my computer. This was since my friend sent the document to me in that format and I wanted to send it back in the same. I realize now that was a bad idea. I have managed to retrieve the text in the track changes but not the comments that I added. Any chance someone can help? I don't want to post it here as it is her research that is an unfinished thesis. Could I send it in a PM? I've tried converting it to a zip file and everything, it just causes open office to crach and word (on another computer) refuses to open it.

Many thanks in advance!
