libre office writer question

[Michael Butash]

Almost every time I've had that occur, the file has gotten corrupted 
somehow.  I seem to get that occasionally as files are passed from 
windoze users to me using openoffice, back and forth.

Check the byte size of the file.  More often than not I'll find it's a 
very small file, like a bad export or something when I get that.  
Cisco's site is notorious about spitting out borked xls files as they 
generate dynamic price lists and such for export that do that to me.  I 
usually find there isn't any real data in there but binary gibberish 
apparently.
