Second question is >"does not save data to the xml file" which xml file? An openoffice tutorial states it is easier to edit the content.xml file when entering repetitive elements and I agree.

I have never experienced a 'corrupted file' error. I used jedit text editor with archive plugin successfully and used the 'reload' function in writer. A crash had occurred only if the xml file was malformed; otherwise no problems occurred. >Maybe the reason you did not receive any replies from the forum is the >question is to vague.
