Re: [libreoffice-users] Finding hidden Draw objects

Hi :)
Perhaps;
1.  create a copy of the file
2.  rename the file-ending from .ods to .zip
3.  open with an archive-manager (on Gnu&Linux you might be able to skip
step 2 but if not then just double-clicking on the .zip should open it)
4.  inside the zipfile is a folder called something like "images".
5.  open each image in turn until you find the bad ones and delete them
6.  rename the file-ending from .zip to .ods
7.  does the file still open or does it crash or not open at all?

Sorry this answer is a bit of a painful route and totally inelegant!
Regards from
Tom :)
