Re: BUNCH OF #'s
So sorry, it's damaged beyond recovery. The file contains nothing but zeros.

Not from this file. There is a minor chance that some regions of the media contain complete copy of previous version(s) of your document. You may try to recover it using standard tools for file recovery -- like photorec, http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/PhotoRec. The shorter time of disk working after file deletion, the larger chance to do it.

Re: Bunch of #'s
Sadly, quite nothing to do, see: 22 pages term paper replaced with pound signs.
Any power shortage for example? It's a common root cause of such problem.
Check the temporary folder of the system (see in OOo Tools>Options>OOo>Paths). If there are folders like sgmlf.tmp with a file having the same name inside, make a copy of that file, rename it in .odt and cross your fingers. Else, I hope you had a backup (or a copy in a mailbox)...
NB: it seems that there are less reports about this with AOO 3.4.1.
