The complicated process of building an OpenOffice file includes allocating 
space for content.xml, which area is usually initialised to zeros; before the 
file is finally completed the last action is to write the data of the file into 
that area.  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.
