Re: Problem with a docx file
I had issues today on a Mac running OO 4.0.0 and Maverickx opening a docx file [I'm pretty sure it was created by MSO on W7]. No problem on this machine still on Mt Lion with OO 4.0.1. Updated the other machine to OO 4.0.1 and all is well. Still need to try a file exported from Pages. jt > - To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@openoffice.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@openoffice.apache.org

The original file may have been created on a Mac system, for what that is worth. If I export a document from Pages 5 as a .docx file, AOO will crash trying to open it. -- _ Larry I.

Problem with a docx file
When I try to open the attached file using AOO 4.0.1 on my Windows XP-SP3 system I get the following from AOO: Open Office Document Recovery Due to an unexpected error, OpenOffice crashed. All the files you were working on will now be saved. The next time OpenOffice is launched, your files will be recovered automatically. The following files will be recovered: (blank - no files are listed) When I click on "OK" AOO opens again but takes no action regarding the file in question. A ".~lock" file is left in my Temp directory. When I upload the .docx file to the free file conversion site, http://www.zamzar.com/, and have it convert the file to .doc, AOO has no problem opening the resulting doc file. The original file may have been created on a Mac system, for what that is worth.
