When I open a file, I get a box which is titled "ASC11 Filter Options." I have never seen this box before. When I select any option, my saved file is not nothing but pages of this: ##################################
Please tell me everything I have written has not been lost. Help!!!

To try and recover your file, you should look in the backup and temporary directories pointed to by /Tools /Options /OpenOffice : Paths. Rename any files in those to type .odt (or whatever file type you were using) and see if they contain your data. Download Recuva or PhotoRec (only one needed) and let it do an indepth recovery of deleted files on your computer. You may get a file containing some or all of your data (or not).

Your file is lost, sadly. See
22 pages term paper replaced with pound signs.
You may help solve this kind of problem by visiting
viewtopic.php?f=49&t=67009&p=298137#p298137 and answering the questionnaire.
