I'm sorry, but your attachment didn't reach the list. (Attachments aren't allowed). Can you upload 
the file somewhere and post the link here? So anyone who's willing to help can go to the place and 
download it directly. 

Also, it would be useful to know which operating system and which version of LibreOffice you're 
running. And what did you do when you tried to open the file? Just a double click in the file 
manager on the document name? Or did you go through the "menu process" in LibreOffice (file > 
open)? 

Please be as specific as you can, so that it is possible for us to help you solve your problem. 

Thanks. 

Sigrid
