Program hangs during document import
Last modified: 2013-08-07 14:41:36 UTC
Two problems here, running OOo 1.1 under Linux, RH9: 1. when trying to import a MS Word file (loads OK under Office97), it gets about 3/4rs across the 'Importing' bar then crashes completely - need to terminate XWindows manually to get free :-( 2. if file is exported by Office97 in RTF, then loaded into OOo1.1, the document loads but has lost all the column formatting

I can Reproduce the problem on OpenOffice 1.1 (default Install, US), Win XP Pro Sp1. (And MS Office XP Sp2). It is real problem when opened, progress bar around 75%, no progress again the documents opened in word xp without any problem. it contain 2 column text. Change OS to all, reproduce in win xp I will attach screenshot
