Format error in Writer sub-document

[Panther122]

I have this problem, but for writer.

I'm not sure how I supposed to sort it.

Looks like the file has been truncated and some of it is missing. For a quick fix, I've extracted the actual text, without formatting, from what's left of the document; see the attached text file.

Thank you. I just have to separate the lines again now.

Edit: That's almost 95% of the file lost... Thank the lord for backups. (which weren't truncated.) I wasn't sure whether the backup would work, so I tried here first.

See [Tutorial] How to find and un-delete Writer temporary files for detailed instructions on how to recover your file as it was when you last opened or saved it, or as it was when it was last saved with AutoRecovery.

You may also find previous versions of the file in the folder it is located in, but which have since been deleted.

There are also detailed instructions for 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.
