Created attachment 56613 [details] LWP file that won't open LibreOffice was advertized as having the ability to open Lotus WordPro (LWP) files. The LWP file that the LibreOffice web site as its sample opens fine. However, none of my clients LWP files open. There is just a blank screen, like creating a new document when trying to open the LWP. Attached (as suggested) is an LWP file that will not open.
Thanks for bugreport Currently in 3.5.3 not opens, therefore change status to New AFAIK opening lwp is among tasks for GSoC 2012, but nobody taken it
