Editing odt in MS Word is a Known Bad Thing (;-)) It's obviously to Microsoft's advantage to cause competitors pain, and histoiricaly they've considered screwing up customers as a perfectly fine way to do that. --dave On 07/15/2015 08:00 AM, Stewart C. Russell wrote:
Hi Malgosia,
I just had occasion to open in Libre Office under Ubuntu 15.04 some (externally created) Europass CVs (with extension .doc), and LibreOffice made a real mess of them This is strange, as Europass document templates are created and distributed as native ODF: https://europass.cedefop.europa.eu/en/documents/curriculum-vitae/templates-i...
The ODT and Word .doc templates look clean to me on LibreOffice, so I wonder if the sender of your documents fiddled with the contents a bit. MS Word can do that.
Europass is supposed to embed standard field definitions that map directly to a standard XML schema. It's possible that this could be recovered from your Word docs and the results reformatted. It's also just as likely that the creator of these documents broke them irreparably.
