I really would like to see a "fix" for this which would allow for other users to open "dotx" files within our organization by simple steps--not just me, but something I can recommend to anyone else. If it is a technical process of extraction I think using another software would be the only other option for others unfortunately. The content you found in the header and footer is also what appears when rendering in Word. In LibreOffice 3.6, 4.0b2 I don't think I have any content at all in the heading, but it reads "Heading (Converted1)". I have not seen the "converted" part before. Here is another file which was a "dotx" and then saved within Word 2010 to a "doc" format: https://docs.google.com/open?id=0B0HMHW6qyzS-MWZrNHd4dTB5TnM I can open it fine in LibreOffice, but not edit the body at all--instead it prompts for a password (which is what I think is supposed to protect the header/footer content). Opening this file in Word the body can be edited without a password prompt. -- View this message in context: http://nabble.documentfoundation.org/Unable-to-use-dotx-files-tp4027691p4027705.html Sent from the Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- For unsubscribe instructions e-mail to: users+help@global.libreoffice.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
