Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: I've repeated a bug from OO writer. Now what?
Hi :) Yes, you can make a copy of the file and rename the file-ending of the copy from .odt to .zip. When you double-click on the file it should open in an archive manager such as WinZip, WinRar. Any images and stuff should be in a sub-folder with a suitable name. Most of the text is in contents.xml. You could just right-click on the file and Open with ... an archive manager but renaming the file-ending might be the easier way of doing this first few times. If you have a fairly recent copy of the file on usb-stick, flash-drive or attached in an email or something then that might be easier to bring back up to date.
