Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 14925
Microsoft Word "hangs", while Openoffice is told to hang
Last modified: 2003-11-21 17:43:24 UTC
On my work I use Windows 98, Office '97 and OpenOffice. First 1.0.1, and via 1.0.2, 1.0.3 to 1.1 beta. On a regular basis Microsoft Word "hangs" when the quickstarter of OO is loaded. I can still start and use OpenOffice, it seems not to be effected by this. When pressed Ctrl-Alt-Del, Windows tells that soffice has become unstable. When I close this box, I can still use OO.

cp->ssa: any chance to reproduce ? tz mentioned that sba _might_ have a chance to do so. Please check if there's an option to look after this issue.
Sorry, cannot reproduce. I think QA should take over.
Please explain more about your problem, your information is not enough to investigate the problem. Please explain step by step. Thanks open ms word & open documents after documents opened open the OOo with quick start open at begining (which documents you try to open, same or different ? ) do I mis some step ?
The document does not have to be the same. I've experienced the problem only with text-documents (Writer). As soon as OpenOffice Writer has been used, MS Word or Excel will hang when started. In Task Manager Ctrl-Alt-Delete) "Soffice" is told be be "not responding". I can still use OpenOffice, but I have to close Excel or Word with the Task Manager. I've installed RC4, but that doesn't make any difference. It's only with this machine, with Windows 98. XP or Linux on my own machine doesn't give any problems.
Peter, this problem is one we have been trying to track down for a long time now. I'm going to mark this as a duplicate of issue 7037. Thanks for bringing this to our attention. *** This issue has been marked as a duplicate of 7037 ***
