Created attachment 102204 [details] zipped document #1 Software environment: libreoffice/1:4.2.5-1 @ Debian/amd64 --- After extracting the document from the attached ZIP archive: a) if you just try to open it in LO Calc, it just opens a "Text Import" dialog, which is not helpful; b) if you try to open it via the file open dialog, explicitly selecting the "Microsoft Excel 2003 XML" file type, it tries to open the document, but fails with "General Error. General input/output error." However, there are some helpful things in the console output (see below), so after making the followings steps it finally opens up the document: 1) remove the newline at the beginning of the file; 2) replace the " "'s with ordinary spaces; 3) replace single ampersands with "&"'s. --- Entity: line 2: parser error : XML declaration allowed only at the start of the document <?xml version="1.0"?> ^ Entity: line 139: parser error : Entity 'nbsp' not defined <Cell ss:StyleID="sC1"><Data ss:Type="String"> 01813</Data></Cell> ^ ...

Test System: Kubuntu 4.13.2 LibreOffice 4.2.0.2 Was able to confirm that the attached (unzipped) file will not open into LibreOffice cal. I get text file import with a file-click open or from within calc.
Odd problem.. @Maxim, would you mind have a quick look here?
The console output says it all. The attached file has invalid XML syntax. All the issues described here are already covered by Bug 38361 & Bug 68742, so I see no point in keeping this bug open.
Thanks Maxim. Marking this as dup to Bug 68742 *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 68742 ***
