Bug Description

Binary package hint: openoffice.org

Using the Open Office org calc programme (2.0.4.0Ubuntu5) as supplied with Kubunu Edgy Eft it refuses to open a Star Office v5 spreadsheet with the .sdc file extension.

I have tried various filters but without success. I thought the MSWord 2003 (.xml) was going to work given that the file is an xml file but it hung half way through.

I do not think the file is corrupt as it did open on an old windows laptop, luckily still hanging around but taking up space....

Hello Chris,

Herewith file.  Its a collection of personal, but not particularly
confidential family stuff that has accumulated over the years, just in case
in came in useful, so no fancy macros, formatting or anything  However I
think there are still client files in the dusty archives kept just in case
some inspector or other calls so would need to open them.

Thanks a lot

Roy

Unfortunately Malone's e-mail interface does not accept attachments at this point in time. If you are still having an issue with this now that the final version of Feisty Fawn is out could you please add the problematic file to your bug report as an attachment? Thanks again.
