ASCII filter options

I am just tried to open a text document I have been working on and for the first time ever using Open Office a menu appears called ASCII Filter Options.

Has my file been permanently corrupted? If so, can I EVER trust Open Office to not do this again?

Is there any way I can salvage my work? And how do I stop this ever happening again?
With thanks,
Adam
