Hello NoOp, thanks for the reply

Yes, I went to those URLs and read them over several times. I had difficulty 
unerstanding what was beng done and wasn't sure if the circumstaances were 
the same as mine. I guess I need to analyze them carefully. 

My file is an .odt (simply  text) There are no Samba, no server etc. I don't 
understand when it is said a "double manfest" I have a. manifest.rdf alone 
and a manifest.xml inside the folder  META-INF.  I couldn't figure out which 
file to open in the hex-editor or what to delete. I need a little gidcance 
here.

Unfortunately I cannot send you the file as I explained to Dennis. It contains 
very sensetive information.   I do appreciate the offer though, as I do 
Dennis'es.

Once that editing is done, how is it incorporated back into the original .odt 
file?  Please have patience with me on this. You are correct, as you stated 
to Dennis. what do I have to lose? Try what might work. I hope that you hav 
the answer/fix for this.

Thanks again. Bob S
