There are issues with certain .docx files crashing LO 3.3. For example: <https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=34876> The document referenced there: <http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?displaylang=en&id=11942> crashes LO 3.3. However, I've tested in 3.4.1 Final and the document does indeed open w/o crashing LO. Unfortunately, the import filter still does not properly display graphics, table of contents, and page text boxes - but that's for another bug report. I'd recommend trying 3.4.1 and see if that solves your problem: http://www.libreoffice.org/download/ -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to [email protected] In case of problems unsubscribing, write to [email protected] Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
