Strangely, I also edited the version of that document that I originally tried. My original version had been edited by me and Keith some time ago to update it to AOO 4.1, so it has recorded changes and some comments. So, at the moment, I can save a flat version of an odt and then edit it but I have no explanation for why editing previously produced a file that would crash AOO. I cannot install the xml filter on my Mint system (Linux Mint 21, Cinnamon 64 bit). When I select the jar file, AOO crashes instantly. I hope I'm not doing something stupid.
