Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: Cannot open DOCX file

I was able to extract the files using an old version of WinZip.

Do we know anything about how LO processes DOCX files? I suspect that
when it opens the file, it scans the first N bytes looking for somekind
of signature that it is not finding in the file created by Mobi OfficeSuite.
