A brute force and ignorance method to get your textual content out of the XML file would be to find the XML file in the archive with the actual document content, and load it through Lynx (that'll strip the text out of the XML). Then re-edit and save it, as you'll have completely unformatted plain text (including no line breaks). I just tried this as an experiment with one of my own ODT files. Alternatively, you could unpack the archive, and try and hand edit the XML to fix whatever's wrong, then repack the archive, and see if your word processor manages to handle that. How you attack this might well depend on what the document was, whether it's something simple that you can redo once you have the original text, or something more complex. -- [tim@bigblack ~]$ uname -ipr 2.6.23.15-80.fc7 i686 i386 Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.
