My saved file turned into #'s
Good day, i have a problem with my text document on my open office writer. I saved something and when i accesed it the next time it was all #'s,all the letters and text turned into #'s. I'm not sure why this happened but everytime i try opening the file i first get a ASCII command that pops up, i only clik ok and go on the file and you know everythings #'s. Im very grateful for any help, it was a school project so it would be nice too fix this

See [Tutorial] How to find and un-delete Writer temporary files for instructions on how to identify and un-delete the temporary files Writer wrote while you were editing the file, and then deleted. You should be able to recover all or most of the file.
