Unfortunately, LibreOffice replaced the non-numeric cell contents by "0" when saving to the flat XML document. It was not possible to repair after that. I also tried opening the document suffering from this problem, selecting the non-numeric table cells displaying "0" values, selecting the Table… Number Format… menu item, and setting the format to Text. That did not restore the original non-numeric values to the cells. Thus, it appears that the only way to repair a document suffering from this problem is to uncompress the .odt document package. Also, anyone trying to repair documents of theirs affected by this problem might be interested in the following Q&A threads. I'm attempting to gather ideas for the best way to perform each step of the repair. How can I uncompress a LibreOffice document to get its XML internals, then make a new document from them? <a href="https://ask.libreoffice.org/en/question/282816/how-can-i-uncompress-a-libreoffice-document-to-get-its-xml-internals-then-make-a-new-document-from-them/">https://ask.libreoffice.org/en/question/282816/how-can-i-uncompress-a-libreoffice-document-to-get-its-xml-internals-then-make-a-new-document-from-them/</a> How to use XSLT to modify a LibreOffice document at XML level? <a href="https://ask.libreoffice.org/en/question/282817/how-to-use-xslt-to-modify-a-libreoffice-document-at-xml-level/">https://ask.libreoffice.org/en/question/282817/how-to-use-xslt-to-modify-a-libreoffice-document-at-xml-level/</a> What XSLT copies an XML file, deleting one attribute and modifying the value of another? <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/65318418/what-xslt-copies-an-xml-file-deleting-one-attribute-and-modifying-the-value-of/65318627">https://stackoverflow.com/questions/65318418/what-xslt-copies-an-xml-file-deleting-one-attribute-and-modifying-the-value-of/65318627</a></pre> </div> <hr> You are receiving this mail because: <ul> <li>You are the assignee for the bug.</li> </ul> </body> </html>
