can not open oo.org .odt document [solved]

[solarian]

help!

 

Can not open an important document.

I tried to open an earlier sxw version of that document in kword and it seems that it tries to access some image that is on a internet server (and that server is offline atm) (oo.org didn't give me output)

 

This is what I get:

 

$ kword  /home/******/Documents/dzeja/lyrics.sxw

koffice (lib kofficecore): ERROR: Image could not be loaded!
koffice (lib kofficecore): ERROR: File was not loaded! (KoPictureShared::load)

 

Is there a way to open a document with this kind of error? I.e., maybe an option to disable the picture load query?

Maybe some other program can open those Open Document files?

Isn't the open document format some form of xml, maybe you can open it in a text editor and find the link and delete it ?

[solarian]

Already tried in kwrite,

opens only binary mess.

Managed to open the old .sxw file!

Information outdated by 4 months, but still it is something.

It opened in a very MS way.

It froxe while trying to open that file and I clicked the X to exit the program, it froze again, then magically opened the file.

No luck with the .odt file

Downloading koffice 1.4, it can open .odt files,

let's see, maybe I'll have more luck with it

This is the second time that OO2 seriously annoys and threatens me.

The previous time it managed to zero byte my 5 month report which I had to rewrite in 6 hours.

 

I'm considering switching to Abiword or Koffice.

And why should it be a big deal if some outside URL/server is not functioning?!

And what if I had no internet connection, it would not open that document then too even if the server was online?

This is just MEGAlame

This really sucks, why doesn't it do like every webbroser does with an image it can't find, show a placeholder, that would be much better than crashing

YES! Managed to open it in the new 1.4 Kword (although it took lots of time to open it)

Immediately saved all the text to a plain-text file;

at least that's a format a lot less likely to fail even if I can't insert images in it.
