crash exporting to old MS Word formats
Last modified: 2013-08-07 14:38:26 UTC
Crash on OOo 2.0.3 Linux. Sent crash ID rxg9b6. - Export to Word 97/2000/XP: no crash - Export to Word 95: crash - Export to Word 6: crash - Export to RTF: no crash This document has complex tables, so the issue is similar to but different than these issues: issue 64300, issue 65793, issue 60390. They all crash when exporting to Word 97, but this document exports to Word 97 OK.
Created attachment 37975 [details] crashes OOo when exporting to Word 95/6
I checked with "2.0.2 German version WIN XP: [680m5(Build9011)]" and can confirtm the crash for document from URL. OOo closed without warning when I tried to save the document in WORD95 format. I created a crash report; the ID of the error report is rx4tb6. Pls decide DUP or not on the basis of the error report.
I checked with "2.0.3RC5 German version WIN XP: [680m5(Build9036)]", also crash as reported. Same result when I save as .odt, close and reopen before I try to save the document in WORD 95 format (or WORD 6 format). 2.0.2 also crashes when I save as .sxw, close and repoen the document. "1.1.4 (German) WIN XP: [645m52 (Build 8824)]" can save that .sxw in WORD 95 format without problems.
MRU->MBA: export the attached document to Word6 format -> crash. Looks like it is a problem with the complex tables in the export filter. The crash happens right at the beginning of the export. Worked last with OO 2.0.1.

aziem, can you please try OOo 2.1 please. and please report if it still exist. Thanks
utomo99, yes, first attachment still crashes in OOE680_m2.
This cannot be a blocker for 2.2 as it is not targeted to 2.2. James McKenzie
Bug still reproducible OOo 2.2 Windows XP exporting doc 37975 to Word 95.
one for henning
Hello aziem, *, I have tried to reproduce your issue under Debian SID (64Bit) and OOG680_m4 and both documents do not crash OOo, when you export them to W6 or W95. Can you try it with a newer version again on your OS? Does it still crash OOo on your system? If so: Could you tell us something more about your system (OS/architecture/OOo version/Java version and the like)? If this issue is solved for you, I would be very happy, when you could close this issue afterwards :) TIA Thomas.
I see no more crashes with these 2 attachments on OOo 2.3.0 Linux 2.6. Perhaps someone should try Windows XP.
Both documents export without crashing with OOO300m9 on OS X 10.5. Aziem's comment above shows they work fine on Linux. Closing WFM, though it was clearly fixed at some point.
