Bug ID: 96098
Summary: Unable to load rtf files with .doc extension
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 5.0.3.2 release
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: Writer
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
In the old word (pre-2007) days, both ".rtf" and ".doc" extensions were
commonly to save rich-text-format files. When loading the file, just looking if
the first bytes of the file matches "{\rtf" is enough to decide the correct
import filter.
This used to work in openoffice and libreoffice up to 4.4, but it's not working
anymore in libreoffice 5.
When loading a rich-text-format file with .doc extension in libreoffice 5, the
file is loaded as a plain-text file (i suppose the "doc/msole2" import filter
fails and fallbacks to plaintext ), so the user sees the rtf source code
instead of the correctly formatted rich text document.
