Description schulten 2003-03-25 12:25:15 UTC 
The attached Word document cannot be loaded. It has been created as Word 2000 
document on a Nokia Communicator 9210i (Symbian OS, also used with Sony P800, 
Nokia 7650, Siemens and sent by email. This is the only way to send a readable 
text format out of the Communicator, otherwise there is only a Symbian text 
format. That means, you cannot send text documents as attachment to people 
using StarOffice.

I also attach the Symbian text file, it would of course be the best to support 
it directly, which would be a strong point for StarOffice for Symbian users.

Build 644m5s1 shows "importing" but never finishes, StarOffice 6 crashes when 
it opens the doc file.

There are no styles in this document at all, so when the filter
attempts to refer to them there are not there and random affects
occur. We need to rework to consider the liklihood that there are no
style in a document and handle that possibility :-(

Sadly quite tricky seeing as so much assume that there is at least one
style in existance.

Confirmed problem.
Comment 5 caolanm 2003-04-01 17:02:32 UTC 
This is a crasher, so makes more sense to tackle it as early as
possible. Fixed in filterteam04. Will not crash in 1.1Beta2. For this
document anyway.

Comment 7 caolanm 2003-04-02 11:52:02 UTC 
ok in filterteam04
Comment 8 michael.ruess 2003-04-14 10:28:33 UTC 
Checked the fix with CWS jollyfilterteam04.
Comment 9 michael.ruess 2003-04-14 10:29:13 UTC 
Verified fix in CWS. It will be available in OO 1.1 beta2.
