Hi, 

I attempt to open a 53 page .docx document (from MS Office 2010) with LibreOffice 3.3.1 (Suse 
Linux 11.2). The document opens (shows "Page 1/53" in the lower left corner) and is pretty much 
readable but then if I scroll down a couple of pages, its interface will freeze and in the lower 
left corner where it did show "Page 1/53" the "53" is an ever increasing number. I let it get up 
to about 8000 once before I killed the program to make it stop. Once, it froze the KDE GUI. I had 
to ctrl-alt-F1 to get to a console login and kill LibreOffice with the bash kill command. 

It does the same thing if I try to export the file as a PDF. 

The document does have some complicated diagrams. Perhaps they are throwing it. 

I just want to read this document. No immediate need to edit it. 

Any clues as to settings or options to keep the page counter from going ballistic when I open 
this thing? 

Thanks, 

Jeff Haran 


LO 3.3.x has trouble successfully opening .docx format files. Success
seems to be hit or miss with 3.3.x. I have heard reports that 3.4.0 has
better success opening .docx formats but I have not confirmed this. I
have seen macro generated documents in particular be very troublesome
with 3.3.x. 

LO 3.4.0 is not all the repositories yet so I do not know if you can
currently upgrade with Suse or if you wish to try downloading it and
installing. I check the Ubuntu repository and the current LO release is
3.3.2 and I am not sure when 3.4.0 will be pushed out.
