Re: [libreoffice-users] Help, corrupted file after computer crash

Hi :)
I think the docX type formats can also be recovered by renaming to ??.zip rather 
than ??.docx
Regards from
Tom :)

What is the used file format? Did you save it in the ODF format
(like .odt, .ods, .odp...) or is it in one of the Microsoft formats?

If it is in the ODF format, you should make a copy of the file,
rename it to .zip and then try to open it with any archive manager
you like. Your text will be in the file called "content.xml". You can
open this file and copy everything into a new document. 

If it is in the Microsoft formats, than I'm afraid, but you've lost
the work and have to recreate it from scratch. (At least, I don't
know of a way to recover some information from those files). 

Good luck. 

Sigrid
