Sample DOCX (corrupted)
- In Writer Compatibility options, enable Reorganize Forms menu to have it MS
compatible
- Add a Forms -> Legacy Form Fields -> Drop-Down Form Field.
- Double-click on it, and add 26 items, eg. characters from a to z (doesn't
matter what).
- Save as DOCX, and open it in Word.
=> Word refuses to open the file, giving a nondescript error (details:
Unspecified error).
When adding a similar drop-down in Word, only 25 entries can be added to it.
Likely we should limit number of entries to 25 in a drop-down field (that was
specifically added for Word compatibility), and perhaps for existing files we
could silently drop the superfluous entries during save (would be nice to give
a message, but perhaps too much work that's only relevant for existing buggy
files, and this feature is only there since 6.3).
Attaching a sample created in Writer that fails to open in Word.
Observed using LO 6.4.0.0.alpha0+ (d2750b7eb02d6f1c8866199c98fe2e2286639b88) /
Windows 7.</pre>
