Solve : Entire Open Office document replaced by pound signs?!?

1.	Solve : Entire Open Office document replaced by pound signs?!?
Answer» Please help me, I'm absolutely terrified I've lost my most important document. Today I tried to open a project I was working on, and I was greeted by a little popup that asked me to set the text, language, and ALIGNMENT of the document. I clicked okay. Then another BOX popped up and it said "document file is locked for editing by unknown user." open read only document or a copy for editing." both choices SENT me to my 137 page document, where every piece of text was replaced with pound signs. (###) I have no idea what to do. Please, please help me out. This is so important.I have not seen this problem before but I will try to offer some suggestions. Are you using OpenOffice Writer or OpenOffice Calc? Did you try clicking "Undo" after the "text, language, and alignment" popup? If you open the document again, does the popup display?
