I opened this bug because docx files would not open at all. I just found the problem. There was a registry entry in the /usr/lib/openoffice/share tree that wanted to open an Odfconverter that no longer existed. This must have been a holdover from an earlier ooffice before the Odf support was integrated.
My system has gone through a series of Ubuntu upgrades and apparently this registry entry was never deleted. Even purging all openoffice packages did not remove it. Ultimately I did a purge of all openoffice packages, then deleted /usr/lib/openoffice, and reinstalled the packages. That fixed it. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/704461 Title: ooffice won't open docx file -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
