The openoffice hangs when i try to open a .doc file. I did know how to attach
the file to this ISSUE. I was able to open many(larger) .doc files successfully.

Filter developers as well as experienced lovers say: Size doesn't matter... ;-)

This may only be evaluated with the file in question because problems may occur regardless of a document's size.

You can not attach a file at the same time when reporting an issue because the link is missing on that page (for some good reasons 
like avoiding a spam of useless big files I guess). You have to open the submitted issue and click on the "create an attachment" link. 
Please do so, otherwise we can't go on.

If it doesn't work by clicking on the link in the mail you get after my changes get commited, do like this:
- browse to www.openoffice.org
- log in
- click "Bugs and issues"
- scroll down the page 
- use the box "Jump to issue number..." by entering 1811
- Go!

Could also see this bug in 638. Works fine in an internal 641. Means:
will be included in next OpenOffice release (641 or higher).
Comment 4 Unknown 2001-10-11 12:38:55 UTC
Is the rot cause of the bug known?. Or was the document just tried
with build 641 and since we don't see any failure we assume it is
fixed? It wasn't clear from the comments made.
Comment 5 michael.ruess 2001-12-04 12:59:03 UTC
No. I tried this with build 638 as well as with build 641. In 638 I
also saw OO "hanging". In build 641 it imports without problems. So I
assume this one fixed.

There have been some fixes regarding such document crashes in the past, which
also affected the file attached to this issue. Thus, it is closed as fixed.
