If the archive manager won't open the file when renamed to .zip, then the archive is damaged; I cannot recollect an occasion when a damaged archive has been repaired (rarely possible) and contained useful information. -- Rory O'Farrell <ofarr...@iol.ie> --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@openoffice.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@openoffice.apache.org
