OpenOffice crashes when opening this word document

[zamox]

Binary package hint: openoffice.org-writer

The attached file causes Open Office writer to crash, when trying to open from Konqueror.

[zamox (canonical-rusu)]

package version is : openoffice.org 2.2.0-1ubuntu4, mon jul 2 13:17:52 UTC 2007

Can you open this file outside of konqueror if you save it first? I can open this file from Firefox and via saving first without any problem. So perhaps it is some sort of problem with konqueror?

Thanks,

Oh yea, I am using OpenOffice 2.3.0~rc1 on Ubuntu 7.10 (Gutsy). So it may be possible that makes a difference also.

Office Writer also crashes when trying to open it directly, via File|Open command.

Adding another file causing OOo writer to crash (Ubuntu). No matter of hurry, just another file to be analysed. I've opened the file (from somebody else) in Word and re-saved as Word 6.0 (before it was just "Word"). It blew up from 1.6 to 5.0 MB, but was fully readable in OOo.

Good luck!

Zamox,

The quick solution to this problem is to just install openoffice.org meta package and/or the openoffice.org-base package. Something that writer needs to display the document is in the openoffice.org-base package. I intend to track down more of these related issue during UDS next week.

Peter,

Your problem doesn't seem to be resolved by installing openoffice.org-base so you should open your bug under a separate bug number. I will be marking this bug as a duplicate of bug #52847.

Thanks,

Hello Chris,

I've launched a new bug as #155671.

Thank you for all your efforts, I feel it was no mistake to switch to
Linux.
Peter
