problem opening older Word 6 doc with 4.0
4.0 is giving me this message when trying to open an older Word 6 version
document...
"Read-Error .
This is not a WinWord 97 file."
This is an old document I downloaded from a public server quite some time
ago.
it was readable in 3.4.1, but not now.
I will file a bug and upload it.

Well I did create an issue on it with the attached document. Some comments
were received concerning the fact that that the doc could not be opened
with 3.4.1, 3.3, so maybe the document attached was corrupt.
In any case, I can not find my reported issue at the moment. If I locate
it, I will post the id here.

Kay,
Could you please share the bug ID when you reported it?
It sounds like a ship stopper candidate if can be confirmed.
Thanks!

Kay,
Could you please share the bug ID when you reported it?
It sounds like a ship stopper candidate if can be confirmed.
Thanks!

Thank you! Since there still are quite a few older files around AOo 4
should be able to open them.
