Your best hope of recovery is to try and undelete any temporary file OpenOffice was using. As soon as possible do the following:

Download Recuva and let it do an indepth recovery of deleted files on your computer. You may get a file containing some or all of your data (or not). Do this as a first priority; other use of the computer may overwrite any existing but deleted files and prevent their recovery. There is no guarantee that you will recover anything useful.

Do what RoryOF suggests; the file you gave us has no data in it at all - there is nothing to recover.

Consider using the Timestamped backup extension to make backups of your important files.
Cheers
