Description Unknown 2002-08-08 17:25:40 UTC 
The short, simple file "callfinal.doc" (which I will attach) 
is a call for papers for a special
journal issue. It opens fine in MSWORD97 (SR1) but a) will not
open in OOo1.0.1 Writer, and b) seems to crash OOo1.0.1 Writer.
I tried launching the process in a shell window to see if any
error msgs were created and there are none. The "splash screen"
for OpenOffice comes up, then the process stops and the splash
screen disappears. I tried 3 ways of opening the callfinal.doc file:
doubleclick on the filename; launch OOo writer and use File/Open;
and launch "soffice callfinal.doc" in a shell window. None works.

Les, thanks for posting this issue.

The file you attached is a Word 2.0 file.  OOo does not support Word 
2.0.

Please see issue 4648.

Thank you for using and supporting OOo.


Sandeep, thanks for taking the time to verify this issue.
