Re: [libreoffice-users] Corrupted File

Hi :)
Ahh, Gedit and a few others should be able to handle Unix eol.  Notepad++ almost certainly doesn't. 
 It might do but if it's anything to do with MS then it probably can't.  SciTE probably can but i'm 
not certain.  If you are using Gnu&Linux or Bsd then any text-editor will handle it.  Gedit has a 
Windows version and i just googled for a download page
http://gedit.en.softonic.com/
their main page doesn't seem to have one (grrr) 
http://projects.gnome.org/gedit/
Regards from
Tom :)
