Hola.

Al trabajar con un archivo de Openoffice se me apagó el ordenador de golpe y al intentar abrirlo sale una ventana indicando que el contenido está bloqueado por otro usuario y que solo puedo hacer una copia o abrirlo en modo lectura y cuando lo abro me sale toda la página llena de #####. He mirado si Openoffice ha hecho copia de seguridad y no la hay. Subo el archivo dañado "Medidas Construcción" en el cual llevo trabajando semanas por si alguien puede ayudarme. También subo las ventanas con los mensajes de OpenOffice.

Un saludo y muchas gracias.

While working on an OpenOffice file, my computer suddenly shut down. When I try to open it, a window pops up saying that the content is locked by another user and that I can only make a copy or open it in read-only mode. When I open it, the entire page is filled with #####. I checked to see if OpenOffice had made a backup, but there isn't one. I am uploading the damaged file, ‘Construction Measurements,’ which I have been working on for weeks, in case anyone can help me. I am also uploading the windows with the OpenOffice messages.

Best regards and thank you very much.

Regrettably your document contains no recoverable data. See [Tutorial] The Dreaded Pound Signs: file reduced to #### for some suggestions on attempting to recover any temporary files that may still be on your hard drive.

What has happened to you is a known issue with OpenOffice – this forum is littered with the same complaint from other users too. Take good advice, switch to LibreOffice. There are several good reasons for making the switch anyway, some of which are mentioned here: [Tutorial] Considering a Switch from OpenOffice to LibreOffice? Some Useful Information
