Bug ID: 106468
Summary: editing viewing fileopen unable to open edit or view
older wordperfect documents
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 5.2.6.2 release
Hardware: x86-64 (AMD64)
OS: Linux (All)
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: Writer
Assignee: libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org
Reporter: sandhillsinvestm...@gmail.com
A friend has many wpd documents from the late 90s to present.
LO 5.2.6.2 easily opens those created with a version of WP installed about
August 2008 but does not recognize the format of documents created with an
earlier version of WP. All documents causing the problem were created on
Windows 7 or earlier versions and due to hardware failure have been moved to a
Linux platform where they cannot be opened in readable form.
The attached file "Failed.wpd" was created and saved March 13, 2008 and is
unable to be opened in readable form by LO. Any file created at this time or
earlier will import only as scrambled unreadable gibberish in LO.
I know that I was using star office / open office in 2005 & 2006 and IIRC was
able to read/open/edit wpd documents being created by WP at that time so I
anticipated LO would be able to read those also, but it does not.
