Hi,

I've got the same issue with OO 2.0.2 (french version) and Alfresco 1.3.0dev.
(transaction didn't commit exception and the same tons of messages like "could not open source document"). It happens with any type of document. xls, doc, txt, html.

I've not looked further in diagnosing the issue yet.

Laurent.

I have only seen this in some forums, but you can't use OO 2.0.2 as the transformations are all broken. Supposedly they will be corrected in version 2.0.3, so the advice given was to use 2.0.0 in the interim. However, it looks like that is not a 100% solution either….
