RE: [libreoffice-users] DOCX file from Android Office Suite will not open

First, rough-screening test results:

The newtext.docx file that was produced with the Mobi Office Suite works as follows:
  LO 3.3.2 fails to open it, reporting a general input-output error.
  Word 2010 opens it just fine.

I modified the document in Word 2010 by adding a sentence to it and saving that as a new file.
  LO 3.3.2 opens the modified document just fine.

Inspection of Zip structure of the two documents reveals that the version saved by Word 2010 has 
two more files, a docProps/app.xml file and a word/StylesWithEffects.xml file.

There is no obvious difference at this high level to indicate how the document failed to be 
recognized as an OOXML WordDocumentML document by LO.  

It is also possible that the difference is in the Zip encoding in some way in which Word 2010 is 
forgiving and LO is not.  The failure to recognize what the document is appears to happen at a very 
immediate level in LO access to the file.

More detailed examination is required.

Hi Pete,

When LO/OOo pops up a text filter it is usually because the format of the 
incoming file is not recognizable, no matter how it happens to be named 
(.docx, etc.).

This happens if an incoming .docx file is encrypted, for example.

If you send the file to me, I can look at its innards to see why it isn't 
being recognized properly.

Hi,

I created a file with the Android app "Office Suite Pro" and I cannot
open it with Libre Writer.

It pops up a "filter" menu with types of files in randow order (can I
file a bug report or a fix request on that?) and none of them are
"Windows Office 2010 docx file".

FWIW, the first 10 bytes of the file are the same as other docx files
that LO is able to open.

Any ideas (other than asking on an Office Suite mailing list)?

Thanks.
