can corrupted FM doc be opened in some other way?

[Carol J. Elkins]

I'm using FM11 on a Win7 box. I spent yesterday writing content for a 
new chapter in a book, thus there is no backup from a previous day. 
Nor did I print a copy of the in-progress chapter before I quit for 
the evening. When I shut down last night, Framemaker was happy with 
the chapter. This morning, FM crashes immediately upon opening the 
file. The generated error log file is not helpful; it reports several 
internal errors with multi-digit meaningless numbers. The crash is 
duplicated when opening the file on my laptop running the same OS and 
FM version.

To test if it might be a corrupted graphic, I renamed the referenced 
graphics folder and told FM to ignore missing graphics when opening 
the file. The file still crashed FM.

At this point, I desperately need to get access to the content of the 
file so that I can copy the text that I've already written and start 
over. Is there some other way to open this file and get at the ASCII text?
