How can I restore this XML abiword document to a readible editable .doc (or otherwise)? -
i have started using abiword on ubuntu desktop. libreoffice caused 1 of word processing documents crash. have never had issue microsoft word use ubuntu. decided switch abiword. have been saving word processing documents via abiword in .doc format. however, when came open file, xml code being spit out. first opened microsoft word. thought maybe issue, switched abiword in ubuntu. worked.....for day. work in xml code.
the document begins xml , looks this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <!doctype abiword public "-//abisource//dtd awml 1.0 strict//en" "http://www.abisource.com/awml.dtd"> <abiword template="false" xmlns:ct="http://www.abisource.com/changetracking.dtd" xmlns:fo="http://www.w3.org/1999/xsl/format" xmlns:math="http://www.w3.org/1998/math/mathml" xid-max="46" xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/" fileformat="1.1" xmlns:svg="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" xmlns:awml="http://www.abisource.com/awml.dtd" xmlns="http://www.abisource.com/awml.dtd" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" version="3.0.0" xml:space="preserve" props="dom-dir:ltr; document-footnote-restart-section:0; document-endnote-type:numeric; document-endnote-place-enddoc:1; document-endnote-initial:1; lang:en-us; document-endnote-restart-section:0; document-footnote-restart-page:0; document-footnote-type:numeric; document-footnote-initial:1; document-endnote-place-endsection:0"> <!-- ======================================================================== --> <!-- file abiword document. --> <!-- abiword free, open source word processor. --> <!-- more information abiword available @ http://www.abisource.com/ --> <!-- should not edit file hand. --> <!-- ======================================================================== -->
how can restore normal document?
also, why did happen , how can prevent this? considering using word in windows or using google docs (though cloud word processing makes me paranoid because of 1) privacy 2) if internet cuts, lose work)
it's simple. copy text of whole entire document blank file .doc. reopen in abiword. works. destroyed small amount of data @ end. have no idea data went. guessing perhaps rtf more stable format.
