Recover file after system reboot

Post by builder4580 »

Recover file after system reboot
System: windows 10
AOO ver: AOO415m1(Build:9789) - Rev. 1817496
using Aoo Calc

My screen froze while I had several tabs open including an open office calc file.
I rebooted my system and when I tried to reopen my calc file the only thing that appeared on my screen was an ASCII filter option panel as below:
ASCII filter options
properties
Character set Western Europe Windows-125 OK
default fonts Times New Roman Cancel
language English (USA) Help
paragraph break CR&LF CR LF

When I clicked OK, all that was displayed was a large box (letter page sized) filled with rows of '#''s'. How can I recover my original file if possible?

Look at this Tutorial for help

The file open at the time of the computer restart will be damaged, with no usaable content. Your only hope is to undelete a temporary file, which the above tutorial will help you with.
