Created attachment 71282 [details] Minimal document to reproduce Several MS Word documents like the attached show empty style name after being opened with Libreoffice. The opened document cannot be saved in any format, including ODF. Either styles should be correctly imported, or software should prevent creation of invalid style names.
Confirmed. New (Confirmed) Major (you can open a file, make a ton of edits, but when you try to save you're stuck, it spits out an error) High (potential for loss of data + major annoyance if a user opens a file with no error and then finds out they can't save the file) Version: Confirmed on 3.6.3.2, changing version to reflect oldest version confirmed on
(Also reproducible with LO 3.5.4.2/Ubuntu 12.04, so changing version field.) But consider that MS Office 2010 doesn't open the file as well by default. See http://support.microsoft.com/kb/922849/ for Office policy restrictions (support for the old DOC file formats has been restricted from Word 2003 onwards because Microsoft isn't keen on fixing or hardening the code for their old file formats). I cannot imagine users will be very likely to come across such a file. But to fix the issue in LO, it would be necessary to find out if LO really imports a correctly defined paragraph style without its name, if it adds a style not defined in the DOC to its style list, or if the DOC file itself is corrupt and LO doesn't detect this. What application was the file created with?
Another linuxlie? The document is opened by Microsoft office without issues.
Security policies are no issues, they are security policies. The file is an old WinWord-2.0 DOC, and this format should better be avoided for current documents, especially since it's not openly documented. I have never seen this bug with the later compound-doc formats, so it's probably limited to WinWord 2.0 files.
The problem is apparently caused by a trailing 0xff in the names part of the stylesheet.
"Word 2003 onwards" Word 2003 SP3 and Word 2007 onwards.
