------- Additional comments from [email protected] Fri May 7 12:53:46 +0000 2010 ------- All Microsoft Office documents have the magic numbers / File Signatures as follows 1st byte - D0 2nd byte - CF 3rd byte - 11 4th byte - E0 In addition to this, Microsoft WORD documents have the additions magic numbers / File signatures as follows 512th byte - EC(236 in decimal) 513th byte - A5(165 in decimal) However the word documents creating using OO by saving as Microsoft word 95 or Microsoft word 97/2000/xp has the magic numbers as follows 512th byte - ffff fffd (-3 in dec) 513th byte - ffff ffff (-1 in dec) The magic numbers / file signatures are used to identify the type of the file. Since OO is setting a different magic number, we are unable to identify it as word document.Hence, the documents created using OO should also have the same magic numbers/ file signatures as used by Microsoft Office. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
