you could try the following:
- First, make a copy of your file and work only with the copy. :)
- Second, rename your file to something like myname.zip.
- Third, try to unzip this file with a program of your choice.
- Fourth, look for the file "content.xml" in the newly created folder.
- Fifth, you can now copy what is in the content.xml into a new document.

This process means, that you have to redo the formatting, but at least
you have your text saved. I really hope, that there is some more text
than just '#'.

Good luck.
