Current behavior: file does not open, program says: "Allgemeiner Fehler. Allgemeiner Ein-/Ausgabefehler" 

or:

lwp file that opens without charts/tables

the file "fnf 1500 - 1570" does not open at all, the file "Finanzen 2013" opens without charts/tables and therefore lost almost all of its content

Hi Klausmiehling, thanks for reporting.

Reproducible with:
Win7x64 
Version: 4.1.4.0.0+ Build ID: d6ee64b75581cbeb92534271ee6f4e87f07aa5c

Maybe I am wrong, but I think won't be easy find this solved in a short time.
Saving your file in LotusWordPro as MS word 7.0 or as Wordperfect achieves a better results.

Thanks Julien for a so quick patch, which solve opening the file with tables.
Win7x64Ultimate
Version: 4.2.0.0.alpha0+ Build ID: 7c19dd02d9241e06ecfeeb9ba4ab2971cba7ef43
TinderBox: Win-x86@42, Branch:master, Time: 2013-11-03_23:15:10

Letters with umlauts looks like boxes, even with locale in German(Germany).
And open fine without select any file type, but selecting Lotus-Wordpro-Document for open, results in a:
 General Error.
 General input/output error.

Comment 8 klausmiehling 2013-11-30 23:36:27 UTC
I downloaded the patch and copied it in the libre Office Folder - I didn't know what else to do, since am no Computer expert ...

But I hoped for the next version. I installed Version 4.1.3.2 today, but still the word pro files open without tables and without the table content.
Comment 9 Julien Nabet 2013-12-01 07:56:33 UTC
klausmiehling: Only the crash is fixed. Lotus Word pro is closed software, I mean we don't have the specs of it.

Michael: except if someone wants to do some reverse engineering, I don't think this bug can be fixed and would put RESOLVED/WONTFIX, what do you think?
Comment 10 Michael Meeks 2013-12-02 09:57:37 UTC
As you say - lwp is a tad difficult to fix without any specs. of course, that doesn't mean it is un-fixable; but it takes some work - patches most welcome.

No idea how to categorise the bug - but if it's real, leaving it open but in some backwater is prolly better ?
