Just ran across yet another case of a .docx crashing LO and OOo-dev: http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.openoffice.general/57343 [Problem with the Open Office Text Processing] The file can be downloaded by right clicking Dr. Kostopoulos' attachement. It will download as a .bin file - just rename it to a .docx file. <http://cache.gmane.org//gmane/comp/openoffice/general/57343-001.bin> 1.
