Description Björn Michaelsen 2011-07-28 09:56:13 UTC 
=== Contribute old Word documents (Word 1 to 5) ===

'''Background:''' It's hard to find documents in this old format. We need them to check the import filters (sw/filters/ww1) and if they are still working.

'''Skills:''' searching, maybe hexediting to check for this format

word 5.5 document.

Microsoft have made word 5.5 available, which may be useful.

Attached is a file made with it, hope it's useful.

Talking about DOC import, this issue is (at least at the surface) a Writer issue, therefore changed the 'Component' field accordingly.
