I don't seem to be able to open this file in Open Office. It doesn't recognise the format, and gives me a list of about 100 file types to try. Choosing (I think) Microsoft Word document doesn't work, and I can't see anything else in the list that looks more promising. I tried running photorec on "Object 1" and it produces a recovered .doc file, but that doesn't open, either. Stroller.
