Changing the extension to txt is almost guaranteed to get you nowhere. If you make a copy and change the extension to .zip, and if you succeed in unzipping it, you will find interesting things in there. The file Content.xml contains your text with xml stuff, but if you work at it you may be able to extract your data. There may be extractor programs that will do this for you. The downside in all this is that if the odt file is damaged, the zip archiver may not be able to open it. I wish you all the luck in the world.

Re: [libreoffice-users] help recovering?
Hi :) It's also not likely that a single app would crash the whole machine like that. One of the top 3 priorities of Gnu&Linux is that individual processes can fail without affecting the rest of the system. Hence no Bsods. Is your machine overheating severly? Are you using a laptop or something with inadequate cooling? Is your graphics card not pushed in properly or getting extremely hot? Ram-sticks or cpu? My money would be on the graphics chips over-heating or wobbly graphics card. If it is a desktop machine are you confident enough about opening the case and getting rid of some of the dust without touching any of the components or the mbord or anything? Which country are you in? In England the normal 3 pin mains earths the case so even though you would still need to turn off the machine at the back and at the wall you could remove static from your hands at that point by touching the case. In the US it could be dangerous to touch the case even with the power off. The static on your fingers and the oily grease even on carefully washed hands is enough to damage some components inside the machine so take care!

Re: [libreoffice-users] help recovering?
Hi :) If it's saved in odt or docX then you could try opening the file with an archive manager. I might be able to have a look in Ubuntu using LibreOffice 3.3.2 if you send me the attachment off-list.
