Re: [libreoffice-users] Broken file

Hi :)
I think i would copy open the new doc version in some other program and copy&paste the changes into 
the original Odt using "paste as unformatted text" and then apply styles.  But then if people mess 
with my work the edits tend to be quite small
Regards from
Tom :)
