[Solved] Error discovered in sub-document content.xml
[Solved] Error discovered in sub-document content.xml
Please help!
I try to open this document, but get "Read-Error. Format error discovered in the file in sub-document content.xml at 2,3228 (row,col)."
I'm not tech-savvy in the least and find previous posts about how to fix this problem terribly confusing (though I've tried to follow to step as best as I can... to no avail).
If anyone can recover this file, many many thanks in advance!!

Please try the attached file.
I'd suggest that you consider installing the Timestamped backup extension so you can keep multiple backups of you documents against the possibility of a similar incident happening..

I'm having a similar problem and am hoping I won't have to create the document all over again since it won't open now. I see where you indicate an attached file but I don't see one anywhere in the post.

Re: [Solved] Error discovered in sub-document content.xml
Just for the record, as some day someone may start to investigate the cause of the error.
The error was the usual multiple comment error near start of the file. I also note that it originated on OO on a Mac - my memory (not checked) is that there are a disproportionate number of Macs producing such errors. No trace of it having been Saved in MS Word format, but Comments had been added by others, whether using OO or MS Word I cannot say.

Re: [Solved] Error discovered in sub-document content.xml
This is a bug in AOO, but not in LO, when track changes is ON and a user deletes two comments each of which is attached to a range of characters.
See Issue 128356 - Track Changes and Annotations on text range can cause corruption. Applies to 4.x (all versions?)

Re: [Solved] Error discovered in sub-document content.xml
HI, i am having the same issue with a file that had previously worked fine. I attempted to follow the guide but am afraid it is a bit above my level. Would you be able to perform the repair on my file as it appears you have some others?
Thank you in advance

An uploaded document, or a pointer to a URL of that document on a file sharing service, would allow us assess and fix the error, if that is possible.

Re: [Solved] Error discovered in sub-document content.xml
Same problem! This is an .odt file that has gone back and forth with a colleague who uses the dreaded MS Word. I saved it after making my own revisions, sent the file to him, and now neither of us can open it. I'm getting this error:
"Format error discovered in the file in sub-document content.xml at 2,3167(row,col)."
I'm too much of a newbie to fix it using any of the guides I see out there, so if anyone has any way to help, I'll be very grateful.

Re: [Solved] Error discovered in sub-document content.xml
We now believe this is a bug in AOO but not in LO. It can always be made to happen by deleting two (or more?) comments each attached to a range of text though other things may also cause it. It probably is nothing to do with Word. See Issue 128356 - Track Changes and Annotations on text range can cause corruption.

However, my file cannot be attached because it is larger than 128kb. How can I possibly attach it? Please, Thank you.

I have managed to recover some/ all of your data and sent the repaired file to you via the email you used to register here.
NOTE: the email is not public - only as a moderator I have access.
If the file is acceptable you may wish to edit your posts above and remove the links to the file.

There is a bug in AOO which will corrupt the file if you delete two comments attached to a range of text.
As you and your collaborator use Record Changes and Comments I strongly recommend you swap to LibreOffice where the bug seems to have been fixed.
