you could try the following: - First, make a copy of your file and work only with the copy. :) - Second, rename your file to something like myname.zip. - Third, try to unzip this file with a program of your choice. - Fourth, look for the file "content.xml" in the newly created folder. - Fifth, you can now copy what is in the content.xml into a new document. This process means, that you have to redo the formatting, but at least you have your text saved. I really hope, that there is some more text than just '#'. Good luck.
