Description gsimonita 2007-03-12 15:00:01 UTC 
A .doc Word document (whatever version, from Word 97 onwards) with revisions
enabled may not be correctly opened/imported and visualized by OOo (1.x and 2.x,
up to at least 2.1). On the other hand, the revised document is always correctly
visualized by both Word Viewer 97 (on Windows) and AbiWord 2.4.5 (on Linux).

Apparently, this is not a new issue (see issue 176,
http://www.openoffice.org/servlets/ReadMsg?list=allbugs&msgNo=4949).
Unfortunately, it is definitely NOT SOLVED and we find it more and more troublesome.
We have been able to systematically re-create the problem and we have a .doc
file which we can submit: I simply could not find the way - yet: it is the first
time I use this "Issue" tool...

Many corporations and most legal firms DO NEED revisions interoperability
between Word and OOo - and we are one of them!

MRU->HBRINKM: see attached doc. The whole second paragraph is marked as deleted
text, though only single words inside it should be deleted. Also from the third
paragraph the first words are all deleted; MS WOrds only shows some digits as
deleted.

In addition ...
The function Edit -> compare document has the same defects (possibly the same
cause):
Even if one word in a sentence is different across files, a whole paragraph is
selected as changed.
