Description dhoehns 2013-08-13 16:46:15 UTC 
.doc type files prompt menu window as when opening data files.  When that is completed, the result is not text, but lines of code

Created attachment 81326 [details]
The file contains a list of paid vendors for a organization.

First nothing happens
The I click on the Apache OpenOffice icon and I get
the ASCII Filter Options
which allows for choice of Character set, Default fonts
and language.  Three buttion are a bottom of menu and at 
right are Ok, Cancel and Help.  When I select ok I get:

Thank you.

Confirmed on Rev. 1507307.

Opens OK in Word 2007.
Comment 4 Rainer Bielefeld 2013-08-14 06:10:25 UTC 
Reproducible with reporter's sample document and "AOO 4.0.0 – German UI / German locale  [AOO400m3(Build:9702)  -  Rev. 1503704 2013-07-16 14:54:56 (Di, 16 Jul 2013)]" on German German WIN7 Home Premium (64bit)", Common 4.0-dev User Profile:

1. Launch AOO
2. Menu 'Files -> Open -> Browse for sample document -> <Open>'
   Expected: Simply opens (as it does in LibO 4.0.3 or MS WORD Viewer)
   Actual: ASCII Filter Options dialog appears

Additional Info:
a)Other office programs (LibO, SoftMaker FreeOffice open reporter's 
  sample document without problems
b) worked fine with AOO 3.4, so regression
c) Currently I only see that problem with that particular document, other .doc
   open quite normal, so this seems not a MJOR problem.


@dhoehns
x) How has your document been created? It does not look like a valid .doc.

@Edwin Sharp
y) Please contribute info concerning your OS and adapt OS selector if necessary

Comment 6 Oliver-Rainer Wittmann 2013-08-21 13:07:51 UTC 
reproduced with AOO 4.0.0, but not with AOO 3.4.1

output of BFF validator on given Microsoft Word document reveals the same failure as for the document attached to bug 122935

@dhoehns:
Has the given Microsoft Word document been created by Pages on MacOS or iPad?
If yes, then this issue might be a duplicate of bug 122935
Comment 7 Oliver-Rainer Wittmann 2013-08-22 09:33:47 UTC 
investigations reveals that this is a duplicate of bug 122935
