I've been editing a file that is in Word .doc format using L-O 3.6 on
Xubuntu Linux, with all updates Xubuntu provides. File was created by
L-O on this system as ODF, later converted to Word format for some
sharing. Formatting is not remarkably complex; headings and bulleted
lists but no graphics or tables.

Something is screwed up; attempts to open the file give "General
input/output error". Other .doc files on the Linux machine open just
fine. This file opens fine with Wordpad on a Windows XP box (all text
visible, formatting odd); if necessary I can install MS Word there and
recover that way. Or I can recover from either .odf or .doc backups,
but I'd lose some work that way.

Is there another recovery method worth trying?


Sandy,
Have a look through bugzilla to see if there is a similar bug already filed:

<https://bugs.freedesktop.org/buglist.cgi?bug_status=__open__&content=General%20input%2Foutput%20error&list_id=210214&product=LibreOffice&query_format=specific&order=component%20DESC%2Crelevance%20DESC&query_based_on=>

I looked at:
<https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=59384>
[FILEOPEN: General input/output error on open, possibly due to endnotes]
which may be similar to your issue. I downloaded the bug's notwork.rtf
and sure enough, it gives a GIO error in LO 3.6, LO 3.5, LO 4.0Dev,
ApacheOO 3.4. However I could open it in Abiword & from Abiword saved to
an .odt. I could then open the Abiword notwork.odt without issues (the
endnotes were intact & working just fine). So, give Abiword a spin with
your document & see if you can do the same.
