Re: [libreoffice-users] help recovering?

Hi :)
If it's saved in odt or docX then you could try opening the file with an archive 
manager.  I might be able to have a look in Ubuntu using LibreOffice 3.3.2 if 
you send me the attachment off-list.
Regards from
Tom :)

I do not know if this will help, but viewers can be more forgiving than 
editors.

Try

http://www.officeviewers.com/

or

http://visioo-writer.tuxfamily.org/EN/index_3.html

if it does - you will have to copy & paste back into LO again

you might have to google a few more until you find one that works.
