Resolved: Opening .odm crash

LibreOffice Writer (L.O. 3.6.2.2) crashes when I double-click on a .odm document created using the the same release.

OS: Linux (Linux Mint 14 (Nadia) with all updates applied).


I visited the LibreOffice site and followed the instructions for installing LibreOffice 4. It was annoying not to have the opportunity to update through the Ubuntu Software Center without having to manually update the software sources, but that's life. Anyway, LibreOffice was updated when I ran the Update Manager ("Refresh").

That solved the problem, though I had to update the master document as it appeared to lose some text.

I guess I’m going to have to keep an eye open for updates/releases as Ubuntu/Mint hasn’t added LibreOffice 4.

I thought I had installed LibreOffice 4. Perhaps I had, but not updated software sources (or some such thing) and a regular “software update” caused a regression.
