--- Comment #9 from Bruce Kirkpatrick <[email protected]> --- I just encountered this serious bug when re-opening a docx document I was working on. All text after the hyperlinks was mysteriously deleted. I noticed that the file size was still very large despite most of the text missing, and then I tried to figure out a way to decode the docx format and recover the data inside the file somehow, and then I learned that docx is just a renamed zip archive in openxml format. After renaming the .docx to be .zip, I was able to open word/document.xml file and see that all the missing text was still there as a plain xml document. I deleted the xml tags related to the hyperlinks, then I zipped the files again and renamed the .zip to .docx. It worked! I was able to restore the hours of lost work. Hope this helps someone fix the bug and prevent losing their work! Perhaps the software is writing an invalid OpenXML syntax or when it reads it back out, it fails to read it correctly. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
