Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 29618
RTF: Files with format error will not open in OOo
Last modified: 2013-08-07 14:41:21 UTC
The attachment opens in MS-Word 2002, but does not open in OOo1.1.1 and shows an error message instead.
Created attachment 15534 [details] Unloadable file.
I can reproduce it on win xp, OOo 1.1.2 rc2 it start with file format error line , attached screenshot. and it can opened correctly on office xp
Created attachment 15539 [details] error when loading on OOo 1.1.2
confirmed on OOo1.1.1 and OOo1.1.2. something is opend in 680_m38 but this is not the file content. set target to OOo 2.0
The attached file is an RTF document (have a look into the file with a text editor). This RTF has a format error, thus OO isn't able to open it. OO's RTF filter does not have an algorithm to repair such error, while MS Word has. When saving a new version of the RTF with MS Word, it can be opened in OO. I changed the summary to something more suitable.
To grep the issues easier via "requirements" I put the issues currently lying on my owner to the owner "requirements".
