Description Walt 2018-01-09 05:44:42 UTC 
When I try to open a particular .odt document I get the following error:

Read-error.  Format error discovered in the file in sub-document content.xml at 2,71571(row,col).

I was able to recover the very first part of the document, but the vast majority of it does not reappear.  

I don't have any idea what could be wrong though it did come after I recovered information from a bad hard drive... but no other documents were affected.  

I did see a similar topic in your forum but the person who solved it gave directions I don't know how to replicate, I'm sorry to say.  

Would appreciate your help, and thanks very much in advance!

You are in wrong place here. This is a bug tracking system and not a help-desk for document repair.
