I am most grateful that you are trying to help. But surely the routine you suggest ( which alas, I don't think I'd have the expertise to do) would destroy the content of the file? TS

Further to my earlier plea, I should have explained that I get just the same error message when I open a previously backed up version of the file, so there can't be anything wrong with the file---but somehow in the process. It is quite a small file, so the reference to 30,000 columns is nonsense. Does the word 'sub-document' offer any clue?--it means nothing to me. TS


Just saw this follow-up. The "sub-document" term refers to the fact that the saved file is actually a zipped collection of smaller files that together make up the full document. Have you tried a system restart? If that doesn't help, since the same error happens with your backups, OOo itself may be damaged. If you end all the OOo applications, including the Quickstarter if any, and then start the installation again, you should see a "Repair" option that might help. If you have the unzipped files from the original installation, setup.exe is the program you want, or you can go through the beginning of an uninstall (for instance, through the Windows Add/Remove Programs function).
