[Solved] Read-Error content.xml

Post by Taneli »

Hi

I tried my best, but I can not get open really important ods file. I read your instructions but it does not help.

Problem:
When I try open Open Office 4.1.3 says:
Read-Error
Format error discovered in the file in sub-document content.xml at 2,367742(row,col)

File link: https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B8qoo ... 0VVVlZHeFE

Thank you

Please send me a PM with an email address to which I can send the repaired file. Please do this promptly, as I will be going offline for most of the day in about 50 minutes.

Without hands on of your file we can do nothing. Either upload it to the forum or post it on a file sharing site and post the URL here. There is no guarantee that anything will be recovered from it.

I arranged to receive a copy of the file by email; there was one duplicated formatting attribute, which I removed. The repaired file opened for me and I have returned it to the OP.

Because of storm damage my ISP's email server is down. I'll return the privately emailed file, now repaired, as soon as I have connectivity.
