Issue Type: DEFECT
Summary: Read Error: Format error discovered ... at n,nnnn
(row,col)
Product: Writer
Version: 4.1.5

OS: Windows 7
Status: UNCONFIRMED

File giving Read Error
See uploaded files Sammy Russel 1draft.odt and ARTTRANNIE WITH NOTES Ruth 29
03.odt.
Both files fail to open giving "Read Error: Format error discovered ... at
n,nnnn (row,col)"
Analysis of content.xml shows that the first style definition in each file has
been corrupted with multiple redundant office:name definitions. In one file
the first style definition was for P1; in the other the first was for Table1.
The fix to repair the files is to delete this redundant data.
Notes:
1 We often get posts of this problem in the forum
2 They always seem to be files where comments have been added to a range of
characters.
3 We suspect but have not confirmed that the problem is caused by MS Word
being used to edit the file. Record Changes may be switched on, and a comment
is attached to a range of characters.
4 See [Solved] Read-Error at
https://forum.openoffice.org/en/forum/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=93024#p442216 for
first file.
5 See Format error discovered at
https://forum.openoffice.org/en/forum/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=93036 for second
file.
Question: Is it possible that AOO does the corruption?
Why is this important?
Students exchange .odt files written with AOO with supervisors who use MS Word,
where the supervisor adds comments and records changes. If MS Word is
corrupting the file we need to get Microsoft to fix it.
