Hi
Thank you for your reporting this problem to us. I created new issue #7070 in our defect database. I will notify you as soon as it is fixed.
Note that ODT format is still in beta.
Best regards.

Hi
Thanks for your request. It seems problem occurs because MIME type of your document is not specified properly. So your document is not a valid ODT file. If you open/save your document using OpenOffice the document can be opened by Aspose.Words.
Maybe you created your document using some third party tool.
Best regards.

Document was created in OpenOffice Writer (v2.0) and OpenOffice Writer (v2.0 and v3.0) opens it without any errors or warnings.

Hi
My colleague tried to create such document using OpenOffice Writer 2.0.3, 1.1.5, 2.0.0 and all works fine. It seems that you perform some processing before opening document by Aspose.Words. Maybe you have unzip file edit some content and zip it again.
Best regards,

I do not remember the exact version of the OpenOffice Writer v2. So the problem is local, thanks for the help.

11

Could you please check the version of OO Writer? We will try to find the same version and reproduce the problem.
Best regards.

Sorry, but I know only that it was 2.x version. I tried to reproduce this problem with OpenOffice Writer v3.0 and nothing. So I think it’s really local problem for this document created with 2.x version…

Ok. Thank you. We will close corresponding issue.
Best regards.
