Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 26341
OOo writer hangs when opening word document with MathType formula
Last modified: 2013-08-07 14:55:34 UTC
The attached file is a word document containing only a simple MathType formula. This document cannot be opened in OOo writer when the Load-option "Convert MathType to OOoMath" is active. OOo writer simply hangs. The issue was confirmed on the German user list for Linux, MSwin 98, WinXP and OOo 1.1 and OOo1.1.1RC.
Created attachment 13718 [details] OOo hangs when opening this document
Hi, I cannot reproduce the crash with 1.1.1.rc1, Win98 SE German, on a system, where there is also MS-Office 2000 German installed. I think the problem could have something to do with the fact, - as it seems to me, that the used font "MT Extra" (MTEXTRA.TTF) is a MS-Office font and therefore not existent on systems, where MS Office is not installed. Can you please give more information about the systems, where the document hang?
-> Formula editor
It hangs on my Win98 (German) OOo1.1 (English). I have installed MSOffice 97 and the font "MT Extra".
I have now installed OOo1.1.1rc (OO_1.1.1rc_Win32Intel_install.zip) and it hangs too on opening the file. Please tell me which additional information about my system you need.
a big pardon to everybody, i am very sorry for overlooking this important information: >> when the Load-option "Convert MathType to OOoMath" is active again, please excuse my mistake! reproduced with 1.1.1rc1 official linux build -> setting to confirmed
P3 -> P2
