Hi :) I've only seen the "i/o error" when the file is not saved on the local machine. Can you download the file to your "my Documents" folder (or even your desktop) and then try again from there.
Wrt to the doc vs docX issue, each newer version of Micorsoft Office sometimes has troubles reading files created by older versions of itself. Each new version has a slightly different implementation of the docX (and xlsX, pptX and so on). People kinda need to buy the same version used by most other people they swap files with. Generally that means everyone has to keep buying newer and newer versions of MS Office to keep doing the same thing they were doing years ago. The older formats, without the X at the end, (as used in MS Office 2003 and earlier) tend to be more reliable and usually look the same in any program. However i don't think you are suffering from the usual problem people have with DocX. I think you just need to save the file locally. Just out of curiosity are you using Windows or a Gnu&Linux such as Mint or Ubuntu?

What kind of 'doc file'? Is it a .docx (new XML format)? If so, we have this problem all the time with those formats... The newer versions of Libreoffice seem to be MUCH worse than older versions, with respect to the new XML file formats and the dreaded 'General IO error'... -- To unsubscribe e-mail to: [email protected] Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ 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
