Re: Help - ASCII Filters
If you open the files do you see ###############. If so the files are corrupted. If not tell su what you do see.

Did you turn on File History in Windows 8? If so, you can restore earlier versions of the file. Select the file in File Explorer, then click the Home button on the Ribbon and click the History icon.

Sadly, quite nothing to do I fear, see: 22 pages term paper replaced with pound signs.
Check the temporary folder of the system (see in OO Tools>Options>OO>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. If you have not rebooted, you might have those files still there.
If you want to help fix this problem, you can also do this survey created for this very problem: Document Recovery Survey.
