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

Hi :)
Have you tried using the LibreOffice "Math" package?  It's likely to have a lot 
of mathematical symbols and stuff.  You might also find that you can install a 
Greek font for using in Writer?
http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Documentation#LibreOffice_Math_Guide

The other components inside the .zip might be worth looking at if they open 
easily.
Regards from
Tom :)

Thanks,

I am using Ubuntu 10.10.
I have tried changing to zip, but still can not open.
I have borrowed my college machine (mine only single boot).
I open with winrar with error warning, I can see the directory,
but the content.xml size is 0.
It seems, I may have lost it.
