Not quite related, but
Further to this, I have downloaded the torbay council job application form which is word format, and has lots of tables, lines, etc, and this opens on oo.org with no problem.
I therefore guess it's the document or certain parts of a document that seems to be causing problems.

Hi,
I used OO to create a complex 6 page document with numerous graphics and sections of two and three columns. It saved without error message into MS Word XP format (as required) but after that OO could not open it. OO went into repagination (for reasons unknown) and then failed to respond to the operating system.
(a) what's happened ? (b) how do I recover my document which right now cannot be opened ?
thanks
John McLean
I have found problems with tables in OOo 1.1.4 and formatting. But in 2.0beta, they open with no problems. Depending on the graphics in the MS document, they may not import properly. I came across this a few weeks ago. We tried many different methods to import then into OOo and found that saving the graphics in their native format was much easier. I submitted a bug report on this.
I have also come across some weird things in MS Office and tables, even between versions of Office. One reason my wife is moving to OOo.
What version of OOo are you using?
