Subject: Re: [users] OT: What is Bottom Posting?/TSteel
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?
Dear Barbara: Thank you for yours. You seem to have missed my reply to
you on 10 May under 'Incomprehensible Error Message'. You had given me
a simple sequence, ending 'Click Repair'. I followed the sequence, but
on clicking Repair, got:
'The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is
unavailable' & then 'Enter an alternate path to a folder containing
the installation package in the box below' & then 'The installation
source for this package is not available. Verify that the source
exists and that you can access it'.
None of that made any sense to me & I said: 'My cause seems hopeless
(or is there a way through that?). TS
Nope, I saw it -- here's my response from 5/10:
It sounds as if you've deleted the installation files, or they're
someplace Windows can't currently get to. If they're still around, you
can browse to the right folder from that dialog, or use Start, and
specify setup.exe in the Search box to see if it finds such a file
associated with OOo (and if so, run it). Otherwise, you'll need to
either download OOo again, or find the downloaded file from before, and
double-click it again. After the files have been unpacked, the
setup.exe program should start again, and you'll end up in the
installation dialogs and you'll be able to install or repair. Since
there's a reference in the message to a network resource, it may be that
your files unpacked to a network device that you need special permission
to access; you can make sure that they unpack onto your desktop or some
other accessible location this time.
