Is anyone using Apple Pages?
If possible I'd like to get two test files saved from Pages:
1) An Empty document
2) A document that has a simple string, like "hello world"
Both saved in DOC format.
I'm seeing some reports claiming that DOC exports from Pages crashes
AOO 4.0. I have a complicated example file. But I'd like to see
simple ones as well, if possible.
If you can create such test documents, please attach them to this BZ issue:
https://issues.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=122935
Thanks!
-Rob

Done. Created and uploaded empty.doc and hello world.doc
Both open with bunch of garbage in AOO 4.0. They do not crash AOO but are unusable.

I think we're set for now with Pages. But if anyone can do the same
for XLS and PPT files exported from iWork applications as well, that
would be great. It looks like Oliver has a patch for the issue in
Pages. But it would be good to test to see if there is a similar
issue with the other formats.

I have Apple�s Pages �09 version 4.3 (1048). I rarely use it because I prefer AOO 4.0. I am attaching two documents that you asked someone to send. One is blank the other says "hello world". I'm sure many other people responded to this but I thought I would to. Heck, I just might learn something from the experience.
I am using OS X Version 10.8.4
I have a problem.
When I want to email a document created in AOO 4.0, I clink on the email envelope (Document as E-mail), my Apple Mail program opens, but not with a new blank email that I can address and send. I have to open a new new email page and start from scratch.

I use OSX 10.8.4 and successfully emailed writer and calc files with Apple Mail by clicking on the envelope and by using drop down menu.

I usually use Thunderbird for email but I changed the settings in AOO so I could test this.
Sending Document as email opened a new email message window with an AOO attachment.
I am using OS X version 10.6.8 so it might be a Mountain Lion specific problem
