Word processor hangs when trying to compare documents

Summary Word processor hangs when trying to compare documents SystemConfiguration ------------------- Platform: PC Operating System: Windows 2000 NT 5.0, WinXP NT 5.01 Version: 2190, 2600 Steps to replicate bug ---------------------- 1. Open a new text document. 2. Go to the Edit menu -> Compare document A dialog box opens up asking you to choose a document 3. Choose say a word document and click on OK. 4. A dialog box pops up with items, Accept Changes, Delete Changes and 4 buttons, Accept, Reject, Accept All and Reject All 5. Click on Accept All. OOo hangs up Note: I've repeated the above steps with many different types of documents including PDF, DLL, TEXT files. I have also compared documents that contain pictures and other embedded objects in it. In every case, OOo hangs up and does not recover. It stops responding and has to be shut down through task manager. This feature seems to be very useful to users that would like to compare documents as it indicates differences that exist between the two documents extremely well. However the very fact that something this useful does not work successfully means that there are going to be a lot of potential users that are not going to use this software since it hangs up when trying to use this as they will have to recover their work every time they try and compare their documents. This bug can be replicated with any document, however I will provide a sample document for the replicator's convenience.

I forgot to change the version to 643C. Sorry
Thank you for using and supporting OOo. Duplicate on Win2k server SP3, OOo 643c. My guess is that OOo does not supporting comparing non OOo doc types. The dialog should not let users select non OOo docs.
HI->MIB: Bugdoc can be load but with Edit menu -> Compare document - choose the bugdoc - Accept all. The Assertion shows you as Author.
