But it is possible, in theory to do something like this with the Apache ODF Toolkit (incubating). But it is tricky, especially if the document has embedded documents, OLE embeddings, images with confidential information, etc. You could need to replace it all. But the stuff you replace might be the source of the crash. A safer way is for the person who edited the document to do a binary search for the issue, e.g., creating test documents containing the first half of the document and another with the 2nd half. See which one crashes. Then divide that test document. And so on, until you've narrowed down what is causing the crash. Of course, not all crashes can be narrowed down that way, but many can. -Rob > > -- > Rory O'Farrell <ofarr...@iol.ie> > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@openoffice.apache.org > For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@openoffice.apache.org > --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@openoffice.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@openoffice.apache.org
