Apparently I had removed both BOMs along with the version tag, which made it import correctly. I can also confirm that removing one BOM or both BOMs, but not the version tag also makes it import correctly. > > $soffice --headless --infilter="MS Excel 2003 XML" --convert-to ods file.xls The only reason I showed the output of this line is that it helped me debug what was going on. I don't know much about how files get opened, and I wasn't sure how to get a more specific error message about why the open was failing.</pre> </div> <hr> You are receiving this mail because: <ul> <li>You are the assignee for the bug.</li> </ul> </body> </html>
