[Solved] Need help to fix content.xml

[marta-s]

Hello everyone!

I was working on a report in OpenOffice 4.1.2 on Windows 10 with text, pictures and comments when it crashed. File recovery doesn't work. I followed this tutorial: viewtopic.php?f=71&t=87180 However, I haven't been able to fix the problem as I don't know what exactly should be deleted. XML Copy Editors shows "Error at line 2, column 3547: duplicate attribute". I've pasted the part where the error should be below, it's right after the first "office:name=..." command.

I'd appreciate any help with this issue!

It is a well known problem when a reviewer uses MS Word.

Upload the file and I will look at it. Or see my email - send me the file.

It looks very much like Case 1 in the Tutorial you mention at [Tutorial] Format error discovered in sub-document where the first style definition has been corrupted by multiple office:name definitions being added to it. Try deleting

Code: Select all

office:name="__Annotation__755_3150985601111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111"HERE office:name="__Annotation__877_315098560111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111" office:name="__Annotation__1007_3150985601111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111" office:name="__Annotation__1015_3150985601111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111" office:name="__Annotation__1439_31509856011" office:name="__Annotation__1440_3150985601" office:name="__Annotation__1441_315098560111111111111111111111111111111" office:name="__Annotation__1452_315098560111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111" office:name="__Annotation__1457_3150985601111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111" 

so you are left with as below, with a space between the remaining bits after the deletion.

Code: Select all

<style:font-face style:name="Andale Sans UI" svg:font-family="&apos;Andale Sans UI&apos;" style:font-family-generic="system" style:font-pitch="variable"/><style:font-face style:name="Tahoma" svg:font-family="Tahoma" style:font-family-generic="system" style:font-pitch="variable"/></office:font-face-decls><office:automatic-styles><style:style style:name="Tabelle1" style:family="table"><style:table-properties style:width="16.999cm" table:align="margins"/></style:style>

It's much easier to see if you pretty print - don't forget to Linearise XML before saving the edited xml file. I cannot pretty print the extract.

Example from tutorial

Your file - Delete all the blue stuff leaving a space

marta-s sent me the file. I edited it as shown above to remove the unwanted "office:name=" definitions. The file then opened correctly.
