[Bug 803770] Re: Writter crashes when saving in .doc

 

This is affecting me as well and not giving a good impression of linux
and libreoffice to my boss who is the user of endnote citations in a
paper we are working on together.  Please see my attached crash report.
The document saves just fine in .odt and as a pdf (at least) but I am
going to be forced to find a mac or perhaps fire up a VM to run MSword
unless this gets sorted out.
