Description saremba 2002-06-28 14:02:16 UTC 
office.dtd references the modules drawing.mod and text.mod in the wrong order.
That's because drawing.mod references the parameter entity sectionText (line
545) which is defined in module text.mod. Note that the XML Standard says
explicitly "The declaration of a parameter entity must precede any reference to
it." (section "Validity Constraint: Entity Declared" in chapter 4.1).
To confirm that this is really a bug load an arbitrary contents.xml file into
some validating editor (like XMetal 3 which I used).
To correct this bug, reverse the entity references %drawing-mod; and %text-mod;
in office.dtd.

Duplicate to #i3225#

This was fixed in v1.7 of the office.dtd file; I think the fix will
make it into the OOo 1.0.1 release.

The problem is that I've never been able to verify whether XML really
demands declaration before use. The validating XML parser we use (XML
Spy) has no problems with this, while others do. Either way, it caused
problems and thus got fixed.
