File which fails to save again.

An existing file in the Excel 2003 XML format is loaded.
Now somehting is changed, at least one character, it isn't possible to save it again.

An error dialog appears:
"Fehler beim Speichern des Dokumentes project: Schreibproblem. Die Datei konnte nicht geschrieben werden."

Translation:
"Error during saving the document project: Write problem. The file couldn't be saved."

The original file was created with LibreOffice Calc too.

Confirmed. 

Still, is there a reason you are using Excel 2003 XML format instead of ods, xls, xlsx?
Comment 2 Urmas 2014-04-02 01:19:45 UTC
Excel 2003 XML is de facto standard of information interchange.
Comment 3 Eike Rathke 2014-04-02 13:42:25 UTC
Not true, Excel 2003 .xml was an interim format, the actually widespread format is Excel 2007 .xlsx

Yes, because I use this format for XML transformation via XSLT. And this is the only plain xml format, which can be read/write from LibreOffice and Excel.
