Example of Microsoft Word 97 .doc file that won't open.  This is a simple small
text file (very old press release).  Was converted years ago from original Word
Perfect file.

Problem description: LibreOffice 3.6.3.2. including the latest version 3.4.1
cannot open some MS Word 97 .doc files.  It produces the error "Read Error: not
a winword97 file".

Steps to reproduce:
1. Double click on a Word 97 file that won't open. (Lots do but some don't)
2. LibO Writer will wait then produce the above error message.
3. Click OK on the error message and the file will not open.

Current behavior:  The 3.6.3.2 and the latest 3.4 version won't open some MS
Word 97 .doc files.

Expected behavior:  All MS Word 97 .doc files should be opened.


Operating System: Mac OS X
Last worked in: 3.5.5.3 release
