Text will be in the ODF zip archive in the file "content.xml"; it is
sequentially built so newest text will be toward the bottom. The text "runs"
will be mixed together with formatting & style notations and URI for the
images, but with some judicious find and replace should get you back the text.
If you need a good text editor to do this I'd suggest the notepad++ project
[1], or alternatively the gvim project [2]. But vim syntax, while powerful for
search and replacement, is a little daunting. If you don't want to invest the
time, the GUI based notepad++ editor should work well. Good luck with
recovery.
