Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 109647
Opening a DOCX file causes Writer to crash
Last modified: 2010-03-01 13:18:57 UTC
I am running OpenOffice 3.2 Build 9483 on Windows XP SP3 x86 in a VMware® Workstation 7.0.1 build-227600 VM. Double clicking a particular docx file created in Microsoft Office 2007 SP2 causes Writer to crashes immediately as it starts up and tries to load the document. To reproduce: 1) Double click SMTAssignment.docx 2) Writer crashes and shows a "Document Recovery" dialog. The list of files that "will be recovered" is empty. 3) Click OK to see a crash report dialog. I have attached a description of the crash in "description.txt".
Created attachment 68044 [details] Writer crash report
Created attachment 68045 [details] DOCX file that reproduces the crash.
Reproducible on ubuntu 9.10, DEV300m72. Works in 3.1.1
Will be fixed in OOo 3.3, tested it with the internal workspace. *** This issue has been marked as a duplicate of 108027 ***
