Thanks so much for those who have responded to me. I have posted answers
to the detailed questions in the beginner area of the forum.
All best, Joelle

One of my Open Office Excel files ...
Excel is a proprietary product of Microsoft and has nothing to do with
OpenOffice. Do you perhaps mean a spreadsheet document file prepared in
OpenOffice?

So what *exactly* happens when you try to open it? As long as you keep this a
secret, it is unlikely that anyone will be able to help you.
My other files are opening fine.
Good-oh: so there is nothing wrong with your computer or your installation of
the OpenOffice program.
It is a very big file with a list of emails. I wonder if the links are too
heavy or complex?
I doubt that. If there had been a problem, you would very likely have
discovered that when you created the document or last edited it.
Is there anything I can do to retrieve my data?
Yes: explain (1) exactly how you are trying to open the document (there are
many ways), and (2) exactly what happens when you try - including details of
what error messages you see.
I trust this helps.
