I haven't seent his exact error, but I have found times where other weird
errors occur in OO files saved in MS office formats. I presume it is
because the formats are not EXACTLY the same, even though MS Office has
always been able to open it.
Since I have a copy of MS Office too on my Kids' computer, I occasionally have
to open an offending file in MS Office, make a trivial change, then save it
again in the "native" MS Office format.
