Cannot open saved .odt Writer file
Posted: Tue Jan 19, 2010 5:49 pm
Specs : Windows 7
Open Office : 3.1
I created an Open Office word document 2 days ago, then saved it wth a password. Next day my laptop went to the workshop due to my accidental disabling the configuration network something, something (configuring issue). Anyway, Eventually today everything was fixed and restored back to normal...but I can no longer open my Open Office word document 2 nor Windows office 2007 (albeit a trial version..but my laptop is NEW and only 11 days old. So it is still valid but anyway why IT said it cannot open coz i'm not connected to the internet when I am? Anyway back to Open Office.... ). It prompted with a certain ASCII FIlter Options: So I just pressed OK ...and voila this is what I get . All 'yyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy...' This word document contains words, graphics (picts) and WordArt...I remember I saved it as .odt . Now even some of my Microsoft Word document end up same thing. All 'yyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy...'
Please help asap. I need to get things done with this document. Thank you so much.
