Word 97-2003 document with text and textmark
When I'm trying to open attached file with OpenOffice writer I receive error
that file is corrupt. But I can open it correctly without any errors or
problems with Microsoft Word 2010 or LibreOffice 4.0.5.
I saved same file in Word 2010 as docx and this docx I could open with
OpenOffice but text area with address part in upper right corner was missing.
We have to use this document as Word97-2003 document with our software and we
want that our customers are able to use it with OpenOffice. Could you help?

Reproducible with "AOO 4.0.1 RC2 – German UI / German locale
[AOO401m5(Build:9714) - Rev. 1523756 2013-09-16 20:50:21]" on German German
WIN7 Home Premium (64bit)", Common 4.0-dev User Profile. When I try to open the
document via Menu 'File -> Open' (does not matter whether AOO or OS dialog) I
see message as shown in Edwin's screenshot.
a) I looked into the document code, looks strange.
a1) the typical strings "Microsoft Word-Dokument" and "Word.Document.8"
are missing, and everything looks more like .docx.
b) And indeed, when I rename reporter's sample to template.docx it will be
opened without problems.
c) And when in AOO File Open Dialog I
- select document type "MS WORD 2007 XML (*.docx)
- Filename *.* -> [ok] so that "template.doc" appears
- select "template.doc" -> [ok]
> The document will be opened without problems
d) I doubt that that is a feature, AOO should be tolerant with such user
errors.
f) not a new problem, already reproducible with AOO 3.4.0 and
OOo 3.3.0, so inherited from OOo.
g) With OOo 3.1.1 behavior was a little different, that version recognizes
that something is wrong with the document and opens the file open filter
selection dialog, what is elaborate, but acceptable
So this report has 2 parts:
h) Bug: AOO should offer the file open filter selection dialog if it sees
that name extension and document contents do not match instead
of directly showing the error message. Error message would be
appropriate if document code still does not match with selected
file type in filter dialog when user opens document from filter
i) Enhancement request: AOO should ignore wrong file name extensions and
automatically use the correct filter (may be with a message: Recognized
document type xyz, open as that document type?"
j) Competitors:
j1) LibO 3.3.3 also suffered from that problem, but current versions open
reporter's sample without problems as correct file type
j2) SoftMaker FreeOffice: opens reporter's sample without problems
j3) Calligra: opens reporter's sample without problems
j4) Lotus Symphony Release 3.0.1 Revision 20120110.2000 : opens
reporter's sample without problems
So AOO does the worst job here.
There is an additional "Missing graphic" problem, I will submit an additional
report.
