Created attachment 115998 [details] How TestOffice2008.docx looks in LO 5 beta1 Bug 49645, referring to bug 39670's attachment (https://bugs.freedesktop.org/attachment.cgi?id=49722) is supposed to be fixed since LO 4.0. However for me nothing is displayed instead of "α", and "α" is displayed instead of "β" (see attached screenshot). Note that this is somewhat different than in the original bug report, which had other exotic characters showing instead of α/β. Appeared in LO 5.0 beta1, under both Windows 7 and Linux (I have no Mac, so I couldn't check there). Also tested using LO 4.4.3.2, with same results.
Confirmed. Win 7 Pro 64-bit Version: 5.1.0.0.alpha1+ Build ID: be8512f99bc9ab18e55aabe01cc0ab1e6baea9e6 TinderBox: Win-x86@39, Branch:master, Time: 2015-06-08_05:58:40 Locale: fi-FI (fi_FI)
Reproducible with LO 4.4.3.2, Win 8.1, works fine in MSO (Win)

Mark, Thanks for resolving this major interoperability issue. I verified both the test file and my own Word docs are now importing correctly.
