Two thoughts:  I think LO has some feature that lets you see hidden 
features, like carriage returns, new paragraph
indicators, etc.  I haven't used the feature, but I believe it's 
there--like in WordPerfect.  If so, turn it on, and look  for
something strange around the paragraphs that don't print.
Second: If you have any printed copy (from back when it worked) scan it 
in and use OCR to translate it back to
text.  Then--you'll have to proof-read it, of course--enter it into some 
word processor and print it from there.
Clumsy, but much better than typeing the whole thing over.
