[1.10.2.1156] Placing .docx causes silent crash to desktop. Repeatable.


Recommended Posts

Are you trying to Place the original converted version, or the version after you Saved in Word, @adrm? What version of Publisher?

Can you share the .docx that is crashing Publisher?

I tried placing both the original converted document and the version I saved from Word.

I believe the original caused a crash immediately, while the Word saved one took marginally longer (1 second?)

As the subject says, it's v1.10.2.1156 beta, which is the latest public beta, I believe.

This is a public domain book from the Gutenberg Project, so I see no harm in sharing it.

FWIW it crashes for me when placing, too.

It would be interesting to open this in MS Word and to re-save it and then test it again to verify whether it's a valid Word file - it may have been exported from another app and be malformed. Publisher shouldn't crash regardless but it's worth checking. I don't have Word on my personal laptop so I can't check but when I opened it in Apple Pages I noted that the tables were malformed which makes me suspect this was exported from another app.

The file you posted kills Publisher for me, too.

I opened your file in LibreOffice and saved a copy, and that one works for me. So, LibreOffice has managed to do something differently than Word (or your conversion program) has done with the original. That may provide some information to help Serif in diagnosing the problem.
