    I installed AbiWord 2.0.5. The DOCs don't crash anymore but a SXW file I
    tried does.
    Now I really see the power of this program. How great MS Word
    compatibility it has...!

    I still receive that error message, but the program doesn't crash. This
    doesn't affect my work
    in any way. Always something about gsf-infile-msole.c line 109.

    I CAN open the file, but a DOS prompt displays dozens of times Invalid
    seekInvalid seekInvalid seekInvalid seekInvalid seekInvalid seekInvalid
    seekInvalid seekInvalid seekInvalid seek...
    It takes many minutes to open that file it ends up with a RTF style
    text-only document. The DOC actually has many pictures and text boxes in
    it and everyone is having troubles with it. This isn't a problem for me,
    tho.
