lwp file that opens without charts/tables

the file "fnf 1500 - 1570" does not open at all, the file "Finanzen 2013" opens without charts/tables and therefore lost almost all of its content

Hi Klausmiehling, thanks for reporting.

Reproducible with:
Win7x64 
Version: 4.1.4.0.0+ Build ID: d6ee64b75581cbeb92534271ee6f4e87f07aa5c

Maybe I am wrong, but I think won't be easy find this solved in a short time.
Saving your file in LotusWordPro as MS word 7.0 or as Wordperfect achieves a better results.

Thanks Julien for a so quick patch, which solve opening the file with tables.

Letters with umlauts looks like boxes, even with locale in German(Germany).
And open fine without select any file type, but selecting Lotus-Wordpro-Document for open, results in a:
 General Error.
 General input/output error.

Comment 8 klausmiehling 2013-11-30 23:36:27 UTC
I downloaded the patch and copied it in the libre Office Folder - I didn't know what else to do, since am no Computer expert ...

But I hoped for the next version. I installed Version 4.1.3.2 today, but still the word pro files open without tables and without the table content.
Comment 9 Julien Nabet 2013-12-01 07:56:33 UTC
klausmiehling: Only the crash is fixed. Lotus Word pro is closed software, I mean we don't have the specs of it.

Michael: except if someone wants to do some reverse engineering, I don't think this bug can be fixed and would put RESOLVED/WONTFIX, what do you think?
Comment 10 Michael Meeks 2013-12-02 09:57:37 UTC
As you say - lwp is a tad difficult to fix without any specs. of course, that doesn't mean it is un-fixable; but it takes some work - patches most welcome.

No idea how to categorise the bug - but if it's real, leaving it open but in some backwater is prolly better ?

Dear klausmiehling,

To make sure we're focusing on the bugs that affect our users today, LibreOffice QA is asking bug reporters and confirmers to retest open, confirmed bugs which have not been touched for over a year.

There have been thousands of bug fixes and commits since anyone checked on this bug report. During that time, it's possible that the bug has been fixed, or the details of the problem have changed. We'd really appreciate your help in getting confirmation that the bug is still present.

If you have time, please do the following:

Test to see if the bug is still present with the latest version of LibreOffice from https://www.libreoffice.org/download/

If the bug is present, please leave a comment that includes the information from Help - About LibreOffice.
 
If the bug is NOT present, please set the bug's Status field to RESOLVED-WORKSFORME and leave a comment that includes the information from Help - About LibreOffice.

Please DO NOT

Update the version field
Reply via email (please reply directly on the bug tracker)
Set the bug's Status field to RESOLVED - FIXED (this status has a particular meaning that is not 
appropriate in this case)


If you want to do more to help you can test to see if your issue is a REGRESSION. To do so:
1. Download and install oldest version of LibreOffice (usually 3.3 unless your bug pertains to a feature added after 3.3) from https://downloadarchive.documentfoundation.org/libreoffice/old/

2. Test your bug
3. Leave a comment with your results.
4a. If the bug was present with 3.3 - set version to 'inherited from OOo';
4b. If the bug was not present in 3.3 - add 'regression' to keyword


Feel free to come ask questions or to say hello in our QA chat: https://web.libera.chat/?settings=#libreoffice-qa

Thank you for helping us make LibreOffice even better for everyone!

Warm Regards,
QA Team
