Bad news, I fear -- the file you uploaded is only about 100 kilobytes, which isn't a whole lot of characters for a 40 page outline! You don't have any sort of backup available of a recent version? In between tearing out handfuls of your remaining hair, go to
http://mozy.com/ and sign yourself up for a free 2 GB account and start it backing up the rest of your documents. Or even just grab yourself a USB flash drive at the bookstore. My philosophy: you only have to back up the files you want to read...
Did anything unusual happen between the last time you were able to view the file successfully and the first time it wouldn't open?
I'd really like to save the day for you here, but I think my mojo isn't quite up to the task at hand :-(
