Open Microsoft Office 2007 .docx files in amd64
Debian (Squeeze / Sid) Unstable with odf-converter-integrator
After my upgrade to Debian Unstable I experienced problems with
opening the microsoft office 2007 .docx files.
The error message that poped up every time I tried opening a docx
file was:
Read-Error. Data could not be read from the
file
I wasted some time looking for people who experienced the same
issue and possible solution to the situation.
Unfortunately I couldn't find any fix online until I found the fix
on my own experimenting installing different versions of the
odf-converter-integrator.
First I've tried updating my current installed
odf-converter-integrator version, which was
odf-converter-integrator 0.2.1.
I've upgraded to a version
odf-converter-integrator_0.2.2_i386.deb.
Unluckily that the problem persisted, so I tried some other
suggested possible work arounds, none of which worked.
I was sure there should be a way to make it work so I continued
trying stuff until
I FOUND THE SOLUTION.
The solution was as simple as downloading
odf-converter-integrator_strawberry_0.2.3-2_i386.deb from
the
odf-converter-integrator download page
And next install it executing:
dpkg -i --force-all
odf-converter-integrator_strawberry_0.2.3-2_i386.deb
Hooray opening docx works corretly on my Debian Unstable now! I bet
it works for you as well
Praise the
Lord!
