[libreoffice-users] Re: "Message URL seems to be an unsupported one" when importing .sdw files

Probably its something else because I get the same error with every .sdw file
I try to convert with LibreOffice 3.3.1 (same problem with OpenOffice 3.3.0) 
on Windows XP. The SDW files can be converted without problems on OpenOffice
3.2.1.
