Re: [libreoffice-users] DOCX file from Android Office Suite will not open
Got an email this morning from MobiSystems, the folks who wrote Office Suite Pro, that said that they have been able to duplicate the problem and will start working on a fix!! :-) Pete Holsberg has written on 10/28/2011 12:53 PM: Hi, I created a file with the Android app Office Suite Pro and I cannot open it with Libre Writer. It pops up a filter menu with types of files in randow order (can I file a bug report or a fix request on that?) and none of them are Windows Office 2010 docx file. FWIW, the first 10 bytes of the file are the same as other docx files that LO is able to open. Any ideas (other than asking on an Office Suite mailing list)?

Re: [libreoffice-users] DOCX file from Android Office Suite will not open
Off-topic, but this shows the mistake of not developing LO for mobile devices; reminded me of a previous post: http://www.mail-archive.com/discuss@documentfoundation.org/msg02649.html. It proves the diversion of discussion of m$ from the bigger objective; that the original posters are writing to this mailing list about a problem/observation using odf software on android hardware. The poster was not aware of the difference between odf and oomxl; which tells its own story... -- For unsubscribe instructions e-mail to: users+h...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
RE: [libreoffice-users] DOCX file from Android Office Suite will not open
Hi Pete, When LO/OOo pops up a text filter it is usually because the format of the incoming file is not recognizable, no matter how it happens to be named (.docx, etc.). This happens if an incoming .docx file is encrypted, for example. If you send the file to me, I can look at its innards to see why it isn't being recognized properly. - Dennis E.

RE: [libreoffice-users] DOCX file from Android Office Suite will not open
First, rough-screening test results: The newtext.docx file that was produced with the Mobi Office Suite works as follows: LO 3.3.2 fails to open it, reporting a general input-output error. Word 2010 opens it just fine. I modified the document in Word 2010 by adding a sentence to it and saving that as a new file. LO 3.3.2 opens the modified document just fine. Inspection of Zip structure of the two documents reveals that the version saved by Word 2010 has two more files, a docProps/app.xml file and a word/StylesWithEffects.xml file. There is no obvious difference at this high level to indicate how the document failed to be recognized as an OOXML WordDocumentML document by LO. It is also possible that the difference is in the Zip encoding in some way in which Word 2010 is forgiving and LO is not. The failure to recognize what the document is appears to happen at a very immediate level in LO access to the file. More detailed examination is required. - Dennis E.
