I copied the document file to my Windows volume, rebooted into Windows XP, and opened the same file with the Windows version of OpenOffice. After a few seconds of processing, the document opened fine in WordProcessor. It is a 107 page text document. It does contain some embedded diagrams. Maybe processing them causes the program to fail. This bug and the file should be passed upstream to OOo. I am attaching the testcase file here so even if it is removed from the Internet, it's still available for testing.
** Attachment added: "A MS Word document that causes OpenOffice.org WordProcessor for Linux (openoffice.org-core 1:2.3.0-1ubuntu5) to go into infinite loop while trying to open it. This same file opens correctly in the Windows version of OpenOffice." http://launchpadlibrarian.net/11187327/Hangs%20OOo%20wordprocessor_xmla1.1.doc -- unable to open document https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/181002 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
