RE: [libreoffice-users] Re: password problem

I agree, seeing if there is something to repair in the manifest is definitely worth trying.

Please bottom post & please do not cc me as I read the msgs on the list;
I don't really need extra copies :-)

Regarding your question: the files et al in the links regarding OOo also
extract properly - see:
http://openoffice.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=88946#c4
and that attachment. The problem with that (and supposedly the files in
the forum posts) file is in the manifest.xml itselft. It extracts just
fine for me. However the file is corrupt & I was able to repair and use
the password supplied by the author to open the file.

My point is that it is possible that Bob _may_ have the same issue; he
won't know until he checks. I suppose at this point that anything *is*
worth checking/trying...
