I went to Bugzilla, but didn't note the bug number, because I didn't have too high hopes for an easy workaround. Sorry about that. A search last night indicated that it had been observed in some rc's so maybe it is a regression and will soon be fixed. One can hope. :) I removed LO3.3rc4 and reinstalled OOo3.2.1-11 from Debian repo, because I had to send the file. In my opinion LibO33 is a tremendous improvement but I do have to save to *.doc from time to time. I've been using OpenOffice since before it would print. I have hoped that I would never need MSO, and so far it has been successful in that 99.99% of the time. I know it takes time to find the problem and fix it or develop a workaround, especially when it seems to only affect a few people. Since quite a few said they had no problem, I'll try again. Maybe it was that particular file, but that really is not an excuse for freezing on a simple 2 page doc with some numbering? I run Debian Squeeze on a Pentium 4 clone with nothing out of the ordinary. OOo3.2.1 has been the most glitch free for me. I've tried all the betas and RCs of LibO but have so far been unable to continue using it. My version 3.2.1 comes from the Debian testing repository. Granted it is based on the Go-OO version, but I understand that LibO is also? So no, I don't have much more to offer than that it freezes and cranks up the CPU when saving an *.odt to a *.doc. I wish it didn't. I had dreamed that this would be the version that would work for me. I'm going to remove OOo once again and reinstall LibO3.3 one more time on my production desktop. If I see an actual error message, I will visit Bugzulla again and file a more substantial issue. I will keep my fingers crossed, throw salt over my shoulder, rub my lucky rabbits foot and try once more. Thanks for the commiseration. regards, Richard. > ________________________________ > From: Cor Nouws <[email protected]> > To: [email protected] > Sent: Fri, 28 January, 2011 16:23:59 > Subject: Re: [libreoffice-users] LibO3.3 hangs up when saving an *.odt as > *.doc > > Luuk wrote (28-01-11 17:12) > > > And Richard could run into this 'special case'.....
