Re: [users] Cannot open document
try to open it with another open office on a another machine lower version maybe 2.4 or 3.0 as long its not the same PC... or try to install koffice. i saw koffice open corrupted documents and it worked for me... Séamas Ó Brógáin wrote: I have a document that I work on every day, but since this morning I cannot open it. It's a complex document (styles, tables, graphics) but not particularly big (770 kb). I'm using Openoffice 3.1 on Linux (Debian). (This is not the official Debian release but was installed directly from the Openoffice site, as the Debian releases are a considerable distance behind.) When I launch the document it seems to open properly and displays the first page. There is no cursor in it, however, no matter how long I wait, nor can I place one with the mouse pointer. The scroll bars likewise are frozen. All I can do is force quit. Other Openoffice documents open and save properly. I'm quite prepared to dig into the XML files if necessary. Any help gratefully appreciated.

This sounds a little like the problem I reported recently (on Novell/openSUSE OOo, but has since been confirmed on the official OOo as well): http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=105621 If... if this is the same as what you're experiencing (best indication is one of the CPU cores will be running at 100% until you kill soffice.bin), I've found that opening the affected document in another OOo install... for example, in Linux/OOo or Windows/OOo installed in VirtualBox (configured as single core virtual CPU), doing your edits there (and saving), you can move back to your main/host OS and work with the doc again.

Re: [users] Cannot open document
Many thanks for kind and helpful replies, all of which I'll follow up. Needless to say, Somebody's Law was also operating, so that when I came back from lunch the document had opened. I suppose it's all part of the excitement of using open-source software; though a little less excitement would be good.
