Description DS4 2018-03-14 19:55:36 UTC
Description:
The Confluence-Wiki can export pages as MS-Word-documents, being saved as a .doc-file.
These files can be opened by MS-Office, but Libre Office Writer isn't capable to show them correctly. Instead HTML/XML-source content is displayed

Steps to Reproduce:
1. export from Confluence (tested with Confluence 6.2.4)
2. open DOC-file with writer

Actual Results:  
HTML/XML-raw-content of the file is displayed, not a formatted document.

Renaming .doc to .docx doesn't make a difference.

Expected Results:
formatted document


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No



Additional Info:
I can offer a sample file to upload.

Version: 6.0.2.1 (x64)

For clarification: I mean Confluence from Atlassian, which is quite popular in software development teams:

It's not a valid doc document, but email

https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONFSERVER-38237

It's confluence's bug. They should generate valid documents. Closing.

If Word 2003 and higher can open it seamlessly, the LO should be able too.
Comment 7 Xisco Faulí 2018-03-19 15:05:20 UTC
Yes, I can open it in MSO word 2010

Reproduced back to 

LibreOffice 3.3.0

Quoting the description from https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONFSERVER-3823 : "Basically what is going on is that this is a multi-part email which Microsoft Word is able to display. It is not a real binary .doc file which can be opened by other tools which can open Word documents."
Closing as RESOLVED NOTOURBUG
