Description Unknown 2002-05-13 09:47:52 UTC 
When opening an MS Word 97 document with an image in the header block open
office freezes and shows the hour glass indefinitely. The document never loads.
 
If the image is removed from the header block the document loads correctly.

The image in the block (as displayed by word 2002) is **larger** (horizontaly)
than the text area allocated for the header. Reducing the size of the image so
that it fitted inside the header block enabled the document to load correctly in
Open Office.

I have attempted to reproduce this problem by creating a word document myself 
with an image larger than the header block but when i do so OO opens it without
any problems. (I did notice though that OO either cropped or resized it, not
sure which, to fit inside the header box) 

The original file causing the problem was sent to me by a third party so I am
not certain that I am exactly reproducing the conditions. The original file
crashes OO without fail. 

(I can send you the file in question .. this is the first issue i have submitted
and i don't see anywhere to attach files on issuezilla reports, sorry if i'm
missing something ...)

MRU->AMA: Loop occurs right after the import. I filed an internal Bug,
so that we get this fix for next OO642 build.
