Description cliff 2012-09-30 16:54:59 UTC 
I created a document in Pages for iPad and emailed it to myself in .doc format.
I then tried to open it with Libreoffice 3.5.6.2. Libreoffice brings up a dialogue box asking what ASCII set to use. Default appears to be Mac European. On enter document of random characters appears. I have tried with other ASCII sets and none work.

Apache Open office can open the document and once opened by Openoffice or MSWord Libreoffice can open it.

Om my Mac laptop I can open this file but I am using Libreoffice 3.5.4.2. this bug may be due to a recent update.
