[Solved] SXW File generation with zip tool

I need to generate a sxw file out of the XML data. The structure is given already from a template which was unzipped to a folder.
I tried to zip the folder content with 7zip (command: 7z.exe a -r <file_name>.sxw * inside the folder with the content).

Trying to open the generated sxw-file inside Open Office I am receiving the message ASCII Filter Options and I need to choose a style. I tried to extend the 7z.exe command by -scsUTF-8 but this was not working, too. And finally I unzipped a .sxw file and tried to zip the content again to a .sxw file. Also this was not working...

Does anyone have an idea what is going wrong?

Many thanks for your fruitful answers in advance!

Why you need use the non-standard, old fileformat of the first versions of the Openoffice.org and StarOffice?
The native file format of the Apache OpenOffice and LibreOffice (and more office suites) is the ODF. The ODF an international Standard file format for Office suites. Use it.
