Text import window opens

Hi

When i try to open my open office .ods file text import window opens and if i okay then it opens with unreadable characters. Can somebody help.

Looks like the file is broken, do you have a backup copy?

No i do not have a backup copy. Can you help?

You could upload your file for someone to look at; edit your first post and use the paperclip icon to attach it. However your file is probably damaged beyond hope of recovery; as soon as possible do the following:

Download Recuva (Windows only) or PhotoRec for Win, MacOS, Linux and other OSes (only one needed) and let it do an in-depth recovery of deleted files on your computer. You may get a file containing some or all of your data (or not). Do this as a first priority; other use of the computer may overwrite any existing but deleted files and prevent their recovery. There is no guarantee that you will recover anything useful.
