[ODFPlugtest] MSO does not read LO files

[Vollmar, Dirk]

Dear all,

>From my analysis it seems that the problem is the manifest:version attribute which has been added in ODF 1.2 (see attachment).

This attribute is created by LibreOffice in Bart's sample document, hence the document is no longer a valid ODF 1.1 document. Using the ODF validator at http://tools.services.openoffice.org/odfvalidator/ shows the following errors when validating against ODF 1.1:

> upload:///test.odt/META-INF/manifest.xml[2,111]:Error:unexpected attribute "manifest:version"
> upload:///test.odt/meta.xml[2,874]:Error:unexpected attribute "meta:non-whitespace-character-count"

> upload:///test.odt:Info:Generator: LibreOffice/3.4$Win32 LibreOffice_project/340m1$Build-12


As Office 2010 is only supporting ODF 1.1, one cannot expect Office to open the document; certainly the error message could be more descriptive though.

Best regards,
Dirk

ndeed, I have the same issue, error when opening a LO 3.4 odt on Win7 with MSO 2010 64 bit.

OTOH, MS-Office 2010 opens odt generated by OOo 3.3 with warnings, but there is some difference between the test manifest file generated by OOo 3.3 and LO 3.4 (see attachments)

Don't have LO 3.3 at hand, but perhaps someone could check to see if there's much difference between LO 3.3 and LO 3.4 vs OO 3.3 and LO 3.3


Best regards

Bart

I diffed them with the standard diff, but I did not see anything. These files have just one long line and one does not see what is really different.
