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.

Hoping for some good news here.
Am using the openSuSE branded version of LibreOffice 3.3.3 OOO330m19
(Build:301) tag libreoffice-3.3.3.1 on openSuSE 11.3 and KDE 4.4.4-1.5.
Was editing a document that is pretty important (to me at least) and
during
the process had tried to add a footnote.
I was editing the text in the footnote and almost immediately there
was some
flashing of the screen and LibreOffice crashed, locking up the
entire PC.
No mouse control, no keyboard control, nothing.
So I had to "reset" the PC.
Now the document is fubar. When I try to open it, LibreOffice
attempts to
recover but fails.
Then it tries to repair the file but opens only a blank page.
I've tried to open it without an extension and get a list of a
variety of
application types to attempt any modicum of recovery, but no matter
what I
try to open it with it either fails, or opens in a file of unreadable
gibberish.
I'd be THRILLED if someone would be able to actually recover this
document
for me.
Nothing secret in it, I'd be happy to email it to anyone who'd like
to give
it a try. Even just to get back the text out of it so that I could
rebuild
would be fabulous.
Any chance at all to recover?
