I have currently not time enough to repair it for you, but here is, what 
you need to do:

- Make a copy of the file and work on the copy.
- Unzip the file. Depending on your unpacker, you might need to change 
the filename-extension from .odt to .zip. You will get a folder.
- Go inside the folder. You will see the file content.xml
- Open the file with an editor, that is able to handle UTF8 and Unix 
line ends.
- Go to the place, which is given in the error message. You will see two 
identical parts of the kind foo="bar". Remove one of them. Save the 
file. Be sure to use UTF8 and Unix line ends.
- Mark all content of the folder and zip it. You will get a file, with 
filename-extension .zip. Change the filename-extension to .odt.

If all went well, you can open the file now. If it is not a text file, 
you have of cause to use the appropriate filename-extension.

Kind regards
Regina
