Re: [libreoffice-users] Bug 60390 - FILEOPEN: Cannot open particular document

in situations like this, independently of the work to be done to make 
libreoffice capable of opening those files you can use a version of 
microsoft office which supports odf to convert the file to odt. this can 
be an effective workaround

I attach you the converted file (using microsoft office 2013). you can 
use these software to do the conversion from a shell:
http://code.officeshots.org/trac/officeshots/browser/trunk/OfficeConvert

I attach also a bat file which can help to automatize the conversion process

best regards
