Re: [tlug] SevenFilesFromOneOpnOf?




Open Office is based on XML and is stored in a ZIP format as per the
standard.  The seven files are various representations.  One is the base
text, others deal with presentation and other features.  It really is
pretty cool (esp if you have ever had to recover a hosed .doc file and
should the same happen to the new formats get messed you can find if the
text is recoverable  via one file rather than coping with all that
binary crud) 
I went back to the file(s) and tried opening the one named Content - that opened up within Konqueror, but didn't open within EditPad Pro.  (Incidentally, I got lazy and bought the Linux version of EditPad Pro due to already being familiar with it - but will also be testing other text editors suggested as I find dime.)  That is interesting... and I can see where having access to those component parts could come in useful.
