[Bug 817298] Re: LibreOffice crashes trying to save a document as Microsoft Word

 

I have:

original document is generated in Word.
I open the .doc file
After editing I save as .doc --> libreoffice crashes
I save as .odt 
I open the .odt file and try to save it as .doc (any version) or .docx --> libreoffice crashes.

I cannot put the document on the web.
When creating a new document and saving it as .doc, libreoffice does not crash. 

It (therefore) could be related to the fact that it is a MS Word
generated document.

$> file document.doc give:

CDF V2 Document, Little Endian, Os: Windows, Version 5.1, Code page: 1252, Title: BLABLABLA , Author: XXXX, YYYY, ZZZZ, Template: Normal, Last Saved By: zzzzz, Revision Number: 9, Name of Creating Application: Microsoft Office Word, Total Editing Time: 01:08:00, Last Printed: Tue Aug 16 09:27:00 2011, Create Time/Date: Tue Aug 16 14:25:00 2011, Last Saved Time/Date: Tue Aug 16 15:25:00 2011, Number of Pages: 1, Number of Words: 6506, Number of Characters: 35460, Security: 0
