[libreoffice-users] Re: help recovering?

Thanks for making a stab at this Tom.

Here is the file.  Was saved as a common text file originally with 
Kwrite so it had no file extension.
Subsequently I got more complex with it and started edit it in 
LibreOffice.  So I have to assume it saved as an .odt file, but the 
extension was never shown.
