Please, help! I was working on a book I'm writing. I needed to restart my computer before continuing. After saving the document and restarting, I opened OpenOffice Writer and then opened my file. I was greeted with an ASCII page that I'd never seen before. I searched through the options, but none of it made sense to me. I finally clicked one and hit okay.
My whole 26 page story had changed into 7 pages of pound signs (#). I'm confused and really scared I've lost this file for good. Please, someone, what can I do?
