My husband has been working on a spreadsheet for over a month when last night our laptop was unplugged. The battery is busted and the only way to keep the laptop on is to have it plugged in. When he booted the laptop back up he was prompted to recover the file and the recovery failed.He is them prompted to choose an ACSII Filter option. When he chooses the option he gets a window that says "Document file 'name%20name.ods' is locked for editing by Unknown User Open document read-only or open a copy of document for editing." Each option opens a word document with this for 3 pages: ice.Office.UI.WindowState:WindowStateType['private:resource/toolbar/drawbar']"><prop oor:name="SoftClose" oor:op="fuse"><value>false</value></prop></item><item oor:path="/org.openoffice.Office.UI.ChartWindowState/UIElements/States/org.openoffice.Office.UI.WindowState:WindowStateType['private:resource/toolbar/drawbar']"><prop oor:name="Style" oor:op="fuse"><value>0</value></prop></item><item The file had been saved many times before, is there a way I can either save this file or open a past save? This is an ancient laptop (MacOS 10.4.11) so alot of downloads wont work for it. If I can email the file to an up to date laptop then I could save it. Can anyone help me? My husband is really upset about losing this file and is already battling depression and this does not need to be another thing on his list to be upset about.
