Help with corrupted ODT file

Post by Simone609 »

Hello everybody!

I hope you can help me... I have a ODT file that is corrupted. It's very important for me so I am asking if someone can help me to restore it, if it's possible...

I attach it...

Many thanks and Merry Christmas to everybody :)

Simone

I was unable to get any data from your file. Restore it from a backup if you have one. If none, now is a good time to implement a backup strategy for your computer. I don't use Windows so I can't suggest any ideas, but you will find plenty of information with a web search.

I agree with MrProgrammer; the file is an incomplete archive, and there is no readily accessible data in it.

The damage to your file is indicative of the computer having been powered off before the archive that is the OpenOffice file was fully written.
