Re: [opendocument-users] how do I package OpenDocument as a single XMLfile

Hi,

What you did to get a single XML file seems to be right. However, by 
default OpenOffice.org cannot open these so-called flat-xml-files. You 
can however just register an identity xsl transformation (attached) in 
the xml filter dialog and import (and export) through that in order to 
work with flat-xml files.
