There a few things which can be observed:

o The file is not a valid zip file, so is not a valid .ods file. (You 
probably realised that.)


o Many bytes towards the beginning of the file represent an empty 
(unused) area of your disk. What has happened has almost certainly 
caused your operating system no longer to have an accurate record of 
exactly where your document file is. In other words, what it delivers 
to you (or to OpenOffice) is not the file itself but the contents of 
some area of disk that may or may not contain some parts of the file. 
While it is entirely understandable for you to suggest "this is the 
file", the basic problem is likely to be that what you have here does 
not contain the original document information, so it isn't "the file".


o Buried in what you have sent are the characters that should appear 
at the very beginning of a valid .ods (zip) file. So you might have 
the start of your .ods file preceded by irrelevant material. 
Unfortunately, even if this is so, it doesn't mean that you can 
recover anything.


o There are some short pieces of readable text (file paths) in the 
file. Whilst this may seem promising, any actual text in the file 
would have been obfuscated by the zipping process, so this too 
illustrates that what you have is probably of no use.


Suggestions:

o Try this:
 + Go to OpenOffice | Preferences | OpenOffice | Paths.
 + Make a note of the path shown for Backups.
 + Outside OpenOffice (using your operating system's facilities), 
navigate to that folder.
 + Is there a file with the same name as your document file but with 
the .bak extension?
 + If so, *make a copy of this in one of your own folders*, rename 
the copy to change its extension to the original .ods, and open this 
file in OpenOffice.
There will be only a single previous version, and this will not be 
helpful if you have saved the (corrupted) document since the problem 
occurred. If there is no back-up file present, it may be that you do 
not have this option selected. Go to OpenOffice | Preferences | 
Load/Save | General | Save, and tick "Always create a backup copy". 
That will be no help for the present problem, of course, but might 
help you in the future.


o It is quite likely that your system's disk directory has problems, 
and you will need to correct these before you continue working - or 
you may lose further work. Run your operating system's disk-checking 
routine, allowing it to correct any problems. This will almost 
certainly not recover anything useful, but will prevent existing 
corruption creating new problems.


o Institute a proper regime of making regular, frequent back-up 
copies of all your work on a separate, external device.


o Meanwhile, start re-sourcing or re-creating your document.

Sorry this is not more helpful.

I trust this helps.

Your best bets for any recovery are the methods I outlined in my previous 
posting of possibly recovering a deleted file or partial file on your computer. 
 If it were me, I'd start rewriting.

If you are getting other material, this is because OO is opensource and many 
sites manipulate search engines so that they come high on the hit list, and 
compile OO with unwanted add-ons or charge for it with spurious offers of 
support.

It is possible you have downloaded from such a rogue site, which is nothing to 
do with the OpenOffice project.

I suggest you remove the existing print of OpenOffice, run indepth Malware and 
antivirus scans, then follow my suggestions below.

OpenOffice should be downloaded _only_ from
http://www.openoffice.org/download

This site will redirect you to a SourceForge site and your download will start 
in about five seconds with no need to click on anything else (Do NOT click on 
anything else).

One can verify that the downloaded file is as it left the code factory by the 
methods described in
http://www.openoffice.org/download/checksums.html

When you install, you will be asked to enter your name and initials.  This is 
only for internal use on your computer to identify you from other users on the 
same computer (such as other family members). This information is not (repeat: 
NOT) transmitted  outside of your computer.

We recommend downloading only from the above site.

Etiketten auf A4-Vorlagen erstellen

2016-01-06 Thread Manfred Hahne 

Guten Tag,

beim Erstellen einer Vorlage für Etiketten taucht immer wieder das 
Problem auf, dass als Vorlagen Seite das US-Letter-Format standardmäßig 
vorgegeben wird, auch wenn man vorher unter der Erstellung eine 
A4-Vorlage aufgerufen hat. Ich möchte gerne volgende Vorlage erstellen: 
Viking 02205: Drei Spalten, jeweils 70 mm breit, 5 Zeilen, jeweils 50,8 
mm. breit, oben 20 mm. Rand, unten verblieben dann 21 mm. Nachdem ich 
die entsprechenden Werte (Rand oben, horizontale und vertikale Abstände) 
eingegeben habe, erscheinen die Etikettenspalten und -reihen zwar 
richtig, aber die Seite ist grundsätzlich eine US-Letter-Seite. Beim 
Umformatieren auf A4 verschwinden dann in jeder zweiten Reihe Etiketten 
von der rechten Spalte auf eine zweite Seite. Lasse ich das Format US. 
(in dem Falle fehlt der untere 21 mm breite Rand, was nicht schlimm 
wäre), "wandern" die Texte "nach oben", stimmen nicht mit dem 
vorgegebenen Raster auf der Vorlage überein.
Wie kann ich vor der Festlegung der Etikettengröße und der Abstände 
das Trägerformat auf DIN A4 bringen?

Vielen Dank
Manfred Hahne

OpenOffice is a free download, with no subscription.  Because OO is opensource 
many sites manipulate search engines so that they come high on the hit list, 
and compile OO with unwanted add-ons or charge for it with spurious offers of 
support.

You do know that you can download and install this for free.  Kill that

for the charges you are incurring, I have no idea who is charging you.  It

RE: ODS File

2016-01-06 Thread Dennis E. Hamilton 
The TL;DR: The file is not recoverable.  Please carry out the search for
possible intermediate copy recommended by Brian Barker and Rory O'Farrell.


 - Dennis

DETAILS

Please adopt a practice where you do not edit over an existing copy but
always make a new version of the file in case there is a problem and you
need to go back and recover from an earlier copy.  That is, on opening a
file for editing, immediately do a Save As ... with a modified file name
that lets you easily tell which is the most recent.  It is also good to have
a backup somewhere beside on your machine.  There are various free
utilities/services that will support that and make backups automatically on
an external drive or in a cloud service.

As reported already,

1. The file is not a correct Zip package for an ODS.  This is for two
reasons -- 
   a. The first x8000 (32,768) bytes of the file are unrecognizable and even
if they include any compressed data of the original file, decompression is
not possible because there are no headers and the data appears to begin in
the middle.  It can't be decompressed without that.
   b. The file is incomplete.  The necessary ending material on a Zip is not
present.

2. The recognizable material that is from a Zip does not include any of the
content, just preliminary material.  This includes a MIME-type record and a
thumbnail image that is possibly damaged/incomplete, with no other material
at all.

Are we considering the slight chance that this might be a case of a
customer running RollAp service on some kind of tablet and it's that this
service which is billed?.

I don't know if RollApp changed the "about box" in any way, so customer
"sees" the "Open office" running on his/her "tablet", and assumes it was
"installed there" when in fact the app is running on the cloud, and what is
installed on the tablet is just the launcher.

Just thinking aloud.

Contact the organization(s) that is/are billing you, using their
designated contact point. (My recommendation would be to also use FedEx

Your financial institution is able to provide the name of the
organization, and their street address, for each charge made on your
account. Your financial institution might charge a fee for providing
that information to you.

Regardless, since Apache Open Office is distributed gratis, it wouldn't
