Opening saved documents in OpenOffice
When I try to open a saved document a message comes about the language (Western) and either it shuts me down or the print is not readable. Please help.
Open Office 3.1 on windows vista

Usually the ASCII filter message indicates that the file is damaged (almost always beyond repair). This can happen in a number of ways: if the computer is allowed sleep with the file open, if Windows decides to do an update with a file open, a computer crash, or if the computer is powered off too quickly, before the files have been written to disk from the internal buffers in the computer and the hard drive.
Please download and open the attached file - if it opens properly it indicates that your OpenOffice installation is working correctly.

b) how to find previous versions of the file in the folder it is located in, but which have since been deleted.
c) how to un-delete the temporary files Writer wrote while you were editing the file, and then deleted. This will recover your file as it was when you last opened or you last saved it and is probably your best hope.
