opening a (specific)MS Word document with embedded graphics/equations is impossible with 2.4.0. The error is "Error reading file", and I personally get it on Vista Business, and friends replicated it on XP Professional. Tried opening the document from the Windows Explorer as well as other file managers. MS Office is installed on those PCs and successfully opens the document. The same document can be opened OK under OOo 2.2.x on Windows XP Professional, as tested by myself. [I don't see how I can attach the document here, still.]
Created attachment 52387 [details] Document that fails to open in OOo 2.4.0 but opens in earlier versions.
MRU->MAV: the attached document will cause the import to stop with a "General Input/Output error". It contains a lot Microsoft OLE objects such as charts, graphic objects and equations.
Fixed.
MAV->MRU: Please verify the issue.
Verified in CWS fwk89.
Checked fix in OOH680m17 and DEV300m17.
