Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 31347
Error opening MS Word documents
Last modified: 2013-08-07 14:42:23 UTC
I have just upgraded to OOo 1.1.2 from 1.0. When I attempt to open some MS Word documents the OOo system returns the following error: "An unexpected program error has occurred. All modified files have been saved and can probably be recovered at program restart." I can restart OOo and edit other documents, including some MS Word files. I am able to open and edit other MSW files.
Created attachment 16403 [details] This is one document that OOo 1.1.2 will not open
confirming on linux. crashes both OOo 1.1.2 (german) and 680m45. Opens fine in Word-viewer. Setting OS, Platform to ALL (not sure whether windows will crash as well)
File opens with OOo 1.0.3 (linux)-> therefore setting regression keyword.
I can confirm the reporter's problem with the attached document using OOo 1.1.2 on Mac OS X, and that it is a regression from OOo 1.0.3 on Mac OS X, as well.
This does not happen on Windows, so I set platform back to Linux. OO 1.1.2 has problems with Word documents containing form controls. See issue 30841. though it is not explicitly stated in the description, it is the same problem as this here. *** This issue has been marked as a duplicate of 30841 ***
Closing duplicate.
