Re: Bug#273020: /usr/bin/openoffice: Some .doc documents crash OO and some not
It is a well known bug on the 1.1.2 series. You can either downgrade to
1.1.1, move up to 1.1.3 from unstable (still has some minor issues, but
the bug is gone), or open your document using 1.1.1 from Debian or 1.1.3
from OpenOffice.org (not the debian package), save your documents as
MS-Word 95 (this action removes whatever it is that crashes OpenOffice),
and save it back to your preferred format (.sxw or .doc 97/2000/XP). The
document is now fixed and your embedded images will be screwed up, but
hey, at least you could open the document.
