Re: [libreoffice-users] Read error on .ods file

Hi :)
"Archive Manager" is the generic name that covers a large number of different programs such as the 
ones you have found.  I heard that something like 7up (i thought that was a drink) was a good one 
along with WinRar, WinZip and others.  

It should be possible to just rename the file from 
something.ods
to 
something.zip
and then just double-click on it.  I would make a copy of the file first tho!  

The term "Archive Manager" is like "Web browser" in that there are a lot of web-browsers such as 
Firefox, Opera, Internet Explorer, Chrome and so on.
Regards from
Tom :)
