Staroffice 8 update 6 -> unable to open files witten using Mac-Word
[300 byte] By [Reiner_Anselma] at [2007-11-27 2:44:21] 
Hi,after installing the product update 6 any attempt to open a file written using Mac-Word in so-writer fails. Is my installation wrong? Or is it a new bug in SO 8? And: Is there a workaround? Trying to open the same files in Openoffice 2.2 works

From your description, the only thing I can think of is that SO8 comes with Mastersoft filters for MacWord up to version 5.1. It may be possible that SO8-PP6 is reading something in the file header and trying to open the file using the Mastersoft filter. OOo does not have the filters.
To test I would try to open the file making sure to select the filter to be used, rather than using auto open.
