Saved my document and information is lost on re-open

I was working on a project for the past 3 hours (with template tables created in Word). At first, the tables&columns appeared disfigured but I didn't mind because I thought I'd just fill in all the information and then copy&paste it in Word tomorrow since I don't have it at home.
Anyway, I saved the document and upon re-opening, to my horror, I realized that portions of my content were completely gone and the tables had been further distorted. Please tell me this isn't permanent and also why it happened because I'm having a mini heart-attack.

It's not a good idea to mix Word and OOo. But your work may not be lost - we've seen more files with convoluted tables where OOo suppressed display of certain cells.
I'll send you a PM.
