Opening an ODF 1.2 document

Disclaimer: You are free to reuse it “as-is”, on your own responsibility and without any guarantee whatsoever. No rights can be derived from, successfully or unsuccessfully, completing the steps outlined below.

Steps

Part 1:

Create a new document with “Hello World” text
Save it as an ODF 1.2 document
Run the document through a validator
Check the ODF package to see if META-INF/manifest.xml has <manifest:manifest manifest:version=“1.2”…>

Part 2 (only if Part 1 produces valid ODF 1.2 document)

Open it using another ODF reader / editor
Check if the reader claims that file is corrupt / invalid / wrong version etc …

Files

Please follow the file name convention outlined in the faq. Note that the PDF files can be included as a previewing aid, but uploading the ODF files is much more important.
