Re: [libreoffice-users] cant open a 65 MB .doc in LibreOffice 3.3.0

Hi, :-)

I don't think the *file size* is the problem. As I said, I can open
much bigger files than that. it must be the file content.

The recommended way to deal with this is to re-save the file under
Word, but as two halves. Then try opening with LibreOffice. If one
half is still problematic, then save *that* half as 2 more halves, and
so on... ultimately you get to find the bit of the file that is
causing the problem. That's the procedure for troubleshooting. Then,
if you can, you feed the problematic file to the devs for examination.

However, if this is a client's job, confidentiality probably prevents
you from doing that.

In this case, all you can do is to ask the person that gave you the
file to save it under an earlier version of Word (2003, for instance).

All the above also applies to Excel, etc.

Support for Microsoft's XML formats is not perfect yet...
