Openoffice -damaged tmp file

I downloaded openoffice because I saw that people suggested this. Now when I
try to open the file it asks about a filter selection. When i choose excel
97/2000/Xp. It doesnt open it. I thought that this program could open corrupt
files?? I tried other filter selections but it wont open it. Only the encoded
option opens it but it is jibberish. Any suggestions

Even OpenOffice has its limits if your file is badly corrupted.

Are you certain the tmp file was generated as an XL file?
