Problem opening StarOffice files in OpenOffice 2

["Bruce M. Ward" <bmward@myrealbox.com>]

Has anybody else found that the Debian supplied OOo 2.0.4 (2.0.4-5) in Etch will not open StarOffice 5 .sdw files?

I first get a 'Filter Selection' window (as though it hasn't recognised the file type), I can go select (after hunting for) 'StarWriter 5.0', and then get "General Error. General input/output error."

Funnily, OOo 1.1.5 has no problem opening the same files (therefore it appears not to be a problem with the files).

Thank you
