It wont following the suggestions you gave unfortunately. However,
there is data in the file. Being cheeky and using my unknowledgeable
status to try to authorise it, I've attached the renamed file and
the original in the hope some sympathetic individual might be able
to help me out. Been working on this thing for months.... Thanks so
much if you do give it a go. I promise to buy a round when I do come
to a meeting.<br>

Depending on the exact flavour of corruption (and if it's a native
open document file), you might be able to open the file in your
favourite zip file manager and extract the contents that way. ODF
files are just a bunch of zipped-up XML files after all. I just
tried it on Ubuntu 11.10 - rename the file and stick '.zip' on the
end, open it in 'Archive Manager' and see if you can open the
'contents.xml' file in a text editor.<br>

<pre wrap="">Hi all,
I saw this and thought it might be of interest:
<a moz-do-not-send="true" class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.datamation.com/applications/how-libreoffice-writer-tops-ms-word-12-features-1.html">http://www.datamation.com/applications/how-libreoffice-writer-tops-ms-word-12-features-1.html</a>
It's a little shallow and completely ignores issues of freedom but it's
an interesting read. The fact that it comes from a long-established
technology publication is, I think a sign of how appropriate it has
become to use free software alternatives to common proprietary desktop
software.
A wonderful quote:
"Really, the superficial conventional wisdom has the wrong view
entirely. It's not LibreOffice Writer that needs to catch up to MS
Word. From an expert's perspective, it's frequently MS Word that needs
to catch up [to] LibreOffice Writer."
