Error message

[fateague]

I was using calc for a solid hour creating a complex page that was an addition to a multiple page spreadsheet. It went well initially and I printed out the finished page and saved it with no problems. When I switched to my laptop to post the document online the file will not load. I get a box that says "Read-Error Format error discovered in the file in sub-document content.xml at 2,177179(row,col)". What could cause this? Is there any way I can recover my work?

Are you really using OO 4.1.3? Please check /Help /about and confirm which it is, OpenOffice or LibreOffice.

Your file may be recoverable; please upload it to the Forum, or place on a file sharing site and post the URL here.

[fateague]

Yes. How do I upload a file?

[RoryOF]

The upload tab is below the Submit button on "Full Editor" and "Post Reply" screens.

Okay, I see it now. When you click "quick reply" it doesn't show up. Here is the version of the file that does not load anymore.

[RoryOF]

I could get nothing from it, but I am at the end of a very long day and my brain may not be firing on all cylinders. Please wait for input from others who are hopefully more alert than I am.

I'm not even able to extract the contents.xml file. I keep getting a CRC Checksum Error
I hope this wasn't too important and/or that you have a backup, as I would have to classify the file you uploaded as damaged beyond repair

[fateague]

Okay, thanks for trying.
