As we previously observed, .odt documents are stored in ZIP format. It is possible to store the document as a single XML file that conforms to the OpenOffice.org document type definition (DTD). It is also possible to store the document as several subdocuments, each with a different document root that represents a particular aspect of the document, such as, content or style.

Nice article that brings order to something I partially knew some years ago because a problem I had with an OO document. The problem was that I was working on a very important OO document and suddenly my PC rebooted without reason and the file get corrupted after that. Some friend told me that OO documents where just XML stored in ZIP format so I could easily fix that file by myself just editing the XML.

If you use OO for important files, read this article (and the first one). It can save your life.

Good work 3monkeys.
