Description Unknown 2002-11-22 13:16:35 UTC 
I am running OpenOffice on my laptop under Suse Linux 8.1 professional. I am 
using the inbuilt version of OpenOffice packaged with Suse with no changes.

My Problem
------------
At work I have to use MS Office 97 and sometimes have to edit documents at 
home. I am also doing a MSc part time and have to share documents with my class 
mates, who all use various flavours of MS Word and powerpoint. I do not want to 
go back to Windows and MS office on my PC as I am very happy with Linux and 
OpenOffice. But whenever I open a MS Word doc my OpenOffice dies with a 
critical error, and when you click OK the package no longer runs.

I have read the help files that state that the Autopilot for the Document 
Converter should be used, but whenever I click on it - nothing happens - no 
screens appear.

The solution for the AutoPilot problem is in the SuSE database:
http://sdb.suse.de/en/sdb/html/kotyzov_oo-autopilot.html

If you are still having problems opening documents after applying their fix, please open a new issue and attach the document to it.

Thank you,
Liz
