Hi and welcome to the forum!

Please read the Survival Guide for the forum. I've split your question from the initial (solved) topic.
Your file seems lost. But maybe someone more used to dig in wrecked files will be able to retrieve something.

Your file is completely corrupted. It is full of nulls and there is no user data.

See Why is my file full of #####? for an explanation of files full of nulls which, in Writer files, appear as ######.

See [Tutorial] How to find and un-delete AOO temporary files for detailed instructions on how to

a) use Previous Versions (W7 and later) to recover previous versions of the file (is there something similar on MacOS and Linux?);

b) recover your file as it was when you last opened or saved it, or as it was when it was last saved with AutoRecovery;

c) find previous versions of the file in the folder it is located in, but which have since been deleted;

d) find any temporary files AOO wrote while you were editing the file but which have not yet been deleted;

e) un-delete the temporary files AOO wrote while you were editing the file, and then deleted. d) and e) will recover your file as it was when you last opened or you last saved it.

If you cannot follow the instructions ask someone with more PC skills to help you. Act quickly - the longer you wait the more likely any temporary files are to be deleted.

Remember: Always save your Writer files as .odt files. - see here for the many reasons why.
