Re: DOC file not opening on 4.1.4
One of the changes for 4.1.4 is supposed to tighten validation of doc files. Unfortunately, I made a mistake in the version that went into RC1, and it gets false positives. The problem should be fixed in RC2.

DOC file not opening on 4.1.4
Forum volunteer John_Ha has sent me a DOC file that will open with 4.1.3 (and AbiWord) but gives a "Read-Error: This is not a WinWord 97 file" error on 4.1.4 RC1. A quick inspection suggests that the first 50 or so bytes of the file are as they should be for a "good" DOC file. As this ML will strip attachments I won't attach it; I have his permission to make it available to anyone interested. If you would like to examine it, please email me for a copy. -- Rory O'Farrell - To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@openoffice.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@openoffice.apache.org
