[Solved] Read Error

[tylertoo]

Imported a Word doc that had a lot of comments and edits in review into OpenOffice 4.1.3 on my Win7 machine.

Made successful changes to the .odt file over several sessions. Never had trouble opening until last weekend. Error is a format error in content.xml at 2,4693.

I extracted content.xml and opened it in Notepad++ to that point and found:

[space]office:name="__Annotation__269_455707081111111111111 (and the 1's go on and on....)

Not sure what do this at this point, so any suggestions would be helpful. I will add that one of the comments in the original MSWord file covered an entire paragraph, and I noticed in my googling of this issue that long commented areas could be a problem.

Cannot attach the file as it is too large. Thanks in advance for any help.

Can you upload it on a 3rd party file sharing web site?

Here you go, many thanks.

I have sent you a PM (Personal Message) asking for an email address to which to send a "fixed" copy of your file. The "fixed" file should be checked for content and formatting - one often has to chop out faulty chunks without analysis of the detail, as life isn't long enough for that!

File now emailed. Hope it is all OK

PM sent. I can't begin to thank you enough, Rory. What a great forum.

I'll let you know how it looks, but again, very much appreciate the effort.

Update: It looks great. I haven't gone through it entirely, but all my most recent changes are there. You're a miracle worker Rory. I owe you a pint
