I'm sorry that I accidentally triggered off so much more heat than
light by my innocent response when rebuked for 'top posting'. Sadly my
original urgent request for help ('Incomprehensible error message')
has got buried under all this & I have got nowhere. Any hope there?
May I make a gentle & constructive suggestion? Some of us
'undiscovered species of primates' turn to this site for help in
difficulties which are obviously irritatingly elementary to many of
the users, for whom the site is clearly a forum for highly advanced
enthusiasts. It doesn't seem to me the best combination. Could there
not be a separate help site for those like me who try and try, but
find computer language very hard to master---and beg from time to time
for simple abc directions? Distractedly, TS
Sorry, Thomas -- my original comment about the top posting was in no way
intended as a rebuke, simply information to a "newbie" (not yet
subscribed to the list at that point). That particular post was partly
top and partly bottom before I responded, which is why I mentioned it at
all. Your original question got bogged down in all this, but we had
sorted out some of the issues -- like what was meant by sub-documents,
and the fact that there appeared to be a corruption somewhere in your
installation (but not in the file itself) because you got the same
"format error in sub-document content.xml" trying to open your backup
copies. The last I know of, you'd gotten information about how to find
or recreate your OOo installation files, and try a reinstall/repair on
your Windows 7/OOo 32. system. Has that gotten you anywhere? Have you
been able to create and later edit another spreadsheet?
