[Solved] Corrupt file

[Diana2505]

I have a corrupt .ODT file and as described on this forum I've put it into a zip file to check the content.xml and the styles.xml.
The xml copy editor shows that the mistakes are in the styles.xml

My problem is that I can't change the mistakes because after I changed it somewhere else appears mistakes.
Can somebody help me?

Usually the error is in content.xml. This file was either edited by MS Office, or saved in .doc format. I'll look now at the styles.xml, but my normal experience is with damaged content.xml, so I may not arrive at a fix.

The content.xml is to large to attach here

The attached file now passes xml well-formedness tests; I don't know how what I have done will affect the styling of your file.

Had you "track changes" turned on? If so, open content.xml in XML copy editor and (from memory, so you may need to use discretion) about line 3, column 3850 you may see a series of 11111111111 entries. These are normally something like <annotation>11111, repeating with increasing sequences of 1111s. Either delete them all, including their annotation tag, or leave only the shortest. I'm working from memory, so you will have to correct any detail in what I have instructed. Then reinsert content.cml and try to open your OO file.

Repaired file sent attached to PM.

Just for the record - another file edited at one time in .doc format with Track Changes turned on.
