Program stops working when opening file

Post by madcrane »

Hello, I was working on a odt file, saved it and closed the program while previewing for printing. When I tried to open the file again the program will immediately stop working and close. Theres no error message, just stops working and closes.

I really need to recover this file, can I get some help please?

Start TaskManager (Ctrl Shift Esc) and kill any soffice processes shown on TM's Processes tab. Also check the [Tutorial] How to find and un-delete Writer temporary files
