[Solved] LibreOffice File format error found at SAXParse

[me-natalie]

Hi,

As everyone here I need some help. I was working on that file, then normally saved it. After few minutes, when I tried to open it - an error occured (File format error found at SAXParseException: '[word/document.xml line 2]: Attribute w:hAnsiTheme redefined
', Stream 'word/document.xml', Line 2, Column 49693(row,col).) But another problem is that my files size's more than 1 MB (maximum allowed size is 128 KiB). How can I 'give' it to You?

I would be very gratefull if You could help me too.

Natalie

Upload it to a file sharing site and post the link here.

Are you working in .docx format?

[me-natalie]

Right, I forgot about that simple way. Thanks for quick reply.

Edit: yes, it's in .docx. And also I found out, that that link may not work. Or rather - link works, but I'm not sure if you could download that file.

The file cannot be downloaded - it just give an error message that Word OnLine cannot open it.

Can you make the file downloadable? Or rename it to fred.xxx - that will prevent Word trying to open it.

Yes, I saw that, when I tried to test that link, but had no idea how to repair that. As you said I've changed file extension. Hope it works.

Try this one Broken file jh.odt

Edit: Edit to correct error

It was quite peculiar. I noticed it is a .doc file, so .. It is a .docx file but I renamed it to .doc in error. When I attempted to open it Writer offered to repair it but I did not want to repair it until I had checked its size so I closed the pop-up window with the " X ". The window came back several times and I closed it each time with the " X ", then Writer suddenly opened the document! I saved it as a .odt file.

See [Tutorial] Differences between Writer and MS Word files for why you should always work in and save files as .odt.

It is docx, John.

[John_Ha]

Oops! It is indeed a .docx file - sorry!

[me-natalie]

Thank you very, very much! But is it everything you were able to recover? I'm sure I had 26 pages in the original file and there's only 8 in the new one. I am glad you did that (don't think, that I am not! You rescued my work!), but is there any hope to recover other 18 missing?

Here's a copy. I just tweaked the document xml; there should be no change in content of formatting.

[me-natalie]

Thank you so much guys! And I'm sorry for being such a problem.
