Hi Rachel,

At first glance it seemed the solution would be to close Apache
OpenOffice and delete the lock file .~lock.tracy emin.odt#

Unfortunately this will not fully resolve your issue because the actual
tracy emin.odt document has been totally corrupted and is unrecoverable
by normal means.

You will find some guidance for recovering corrupted files in the
tutorial here:

Kind Regards
Dave
