--- Comment #8 from John <[email protected]> --- Why is there a difference between File > Save ..., and copying everything to a new document and File > Save ..., the new document? There are numerous cases where a corrupted .odt file is magically "un-corrupted" by Edit > Select All > Copy > Paste into a new document > Save .... Two such forum posts (there are more - copying to a new document is often suggested as a fix) are: a) Re: Compressing size of an odt containing large image (https://forum.openoffice.org/en/forum/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=81238&p=377733&hilit=tangled#p377950) which says "I'm amazed at the improvement of the second file after I saved the contents of the original into a new file ('removing the tangles')" b) Re: Changing Automatic default footnote anchor symbol [Solved] (https://forum.openoffice.org/en/forum/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=82900#p384321) where a corrupted (wrong font?) footnote anchor was reset by pasting the entire .odt contents to a new .odt file. As copying the entire contents seems to fix problems - possibly because redundant tags and their arguments are discarded??? - could this "clean up" stage be incorporated as a normal part of the File > Save ... process. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the issue.
