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>

It's interesting you just send this out. I would generally
completely agree; however half an hour ago a document I've been
working on for months became corrupted using LibreOffice and I'm
now spending the night trying to salvage it from elsewhere......<br>
<br>
Alas, the tribulations of an unknowledgeable Linux user unable to
configure a properly working system...<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."
