Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 26760
Importing WordArt Object in Writer
Last modified: 2013-02-24 21:08:26 UTC
I used File > Autopilot > Document Convertor to convert documents - Microsoft word documents - to a folder in my hard drive. There were 82 documents at 59th one OO.o crashed Error report attached.
Created attachment 13952 [details] error report
SW->MRU: I don't think it's an api-issue, please have a look at it ... my first guess would be that this 59th document would make problems when opened via ui too :-)
Yes, I confirm. It is the 59 th document; It is a long [89 page] multi-section MS Word document. It crashed OO.o writer even during normal import. {Please see issue No.26901; which I had reported earlier} The error report of crash during document conversion is attached.

Same Error stack as in issue 26901. And same state: without the sample document, there won't be anything we can do.
Closed.
-changed version to 680m32 and also the summary - lowered priority to P3 The problem as I reported in i26901 is due a curved Wordart object. Just removing that one worked for import of the document. But, what is OO.o's stance as to Wordart. I still get straight text for the curved Text Wordart objects. Could this be worked out?
There must be something special with you WordArt object. WIth my testdocuments (contain all types of WordArts) I do not get a crash. Please attach the file to this issue, so that we can reproduce the problem here. Regarding the problem that you only recieve straight text, there already exists an issue, which covers the whole WordArt import area. Issue 20485 should be the thing you are looking for.
Sorry, i could not provide the document which used to crash as after I removed that single and simple curved wordart things were Ok. But now something similar to this happened. I opened that document [it is now opening in OO.o writer, rather with bad formatting and tables overflowing the pages. But when I tried to delete a wordart image which I had inserted into Header this time, from the document it crashed. I am attaching another error report. Please see some conclusion can be drawn {i could not attach that earlier, I have explained it earlier, it contains things that are too confidential. sorry.}

Sorry, without a sample document we won't be able to do anything on the problem and the issue will remain as closed/invalid. For the last problem yo mentioned, could't it be possible to remove the confidential content with MS Word and the only leave the WordArt object which leads to the crash?
