------- Additional comments from smarin...@openoffice.org Fri Sep 10 09:13:41 +0000 2010 ------- The .doc extension is widely used not to define a fiel format but as a "open it with my Word editor" (whatever it is). This is especially used with the exchange format MS Word XML 2003 wich is used by "generating doc files" programs. Indeed, in most OS's, the .xml extension will open a text editor. By default, opening a MS XML 2003 terminated by .doc is impossible, as it doesn't allow you to choose it in the file selector (restricted to .xml), and provides an ascii filtering system, if opening by the standard way. I propose to either make the ASCII detection less "dummy" and detect what XML is, so that the XML 2003 importer will work, either add in the defaukt OpenOffice configuration that the .doc might eventually be an XML. This last point is seen in "Tools"->"XML Filter options" (i guess the english labels as my oo is french). Then in the extension part of "MS Word 2003 XML" it consist in having "xml;doc" instead of "xml" only. This should avoid people to thing when lauching with these .doc files "Oh... OpenOffice doesn't support all MS files..." --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
