Description Aron Budea 2019-08-08 16:32:33 UTC

Created attachment 153240 [details]
Sample DOCX (corrupted)

This is somewhat similar to bug 126669, except the file was saved as DOCX and reloaded between inserting the frame and the text box.

- Add a frame to an empty document.
- Save it as DOCX, and reopen the document.
- Add a text box inside the frame, and at least one character in the text box so it persists.
- Save it again (as DOCX), and open the file in Word.

=> Word refuses to open the file (details: Unspecified error).

Attaching a corrupted sample DOCX.

Observed using LO 6.3.0.3 & 4.4.0.3 / Windows 7.

> - Add a frame to an empty document.
Note that if the frame is added to the top of the text area, it will trigger bug 117692, so if you insert the frame using the dialog, move it down a bit, or insert it interactively.

Comment 3 NISZ LibreOffice Team 2020-11-30 12:24:12 UTC

Saving a Writer-made new frame to docx converts it into a textbox (but why...).

Word on the other hand does not allow embedding a textbox into a textbox, so it's no surprise it cannot read a similar construct made by Writer.
