A slight correction ...

A .odt file of all "#"' does not have any structure and cannot be unzipped.  

When the .odt is opened with a Hex editor, each and every character in the file
is 00. I will upload such a .odt file of all "#"' at Issue 126990.

When the file is opened with Writer, Writer assumes it is must be a flat, ASCII
TEXT file, and the opened document therefore consists of page after page of "#"
characters.

The problem has the characteristics of "Writer reserves some space, names it as
fred.odt, sets the space to zeros to delete existing data .... and Writer does
not then write the correct data into the file.  The .odt file is then saved
while being full of zeros."
