Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: I've repeated a bug from OO writer. Now what?

Hi :)
Yes, you can make a copy of the file and rename the file-ending of the copy from
.odt to .zip.  When you double-click on the file it should open in an "archive manager" such as 
WinZip, WinRar.  Any images and stuff should be in a sub-folder with a suitable name.  Most of the 
text is in "contents.xml".  You could just right-click on the file and "Open with ..." an archive 
manager but renaming the file-ending might be the easier way of doing this first few times.  

If you have a fairly recent copy of the file on usb-stick, flash-drive or attached in an email or 
something then that might be easier to bring back up to date.  
Regards from
Tom :)

You can try opening the file with an archive manager, the odt file is a 
compressed archive with an xml data file inside.
