Description:   Opened: 2000-02-12 21:24 
If a .abw file has a unknown character in it, when you try to open it, you get
a warning that AbiWord is trying to open a bogus file.  This happens on both
Winodws and Linux, and I am not sure what kinds of characters cause the
problem.

It looks like I have encountered this problem when saving a word .doc as .abw :
I cannot open the saved file. It says "bogus document".

Can you send us a testcase?

This must be the bug that destroyed my history paper!  I used the Copywrite 
symbol at one point in my paper.  After AbiWord crashed for whatever reason, I 
couldn't open the .abw because it was "bad format" or somthing along those 
lines.

This should be investigated in depth!

------- Comment #5 From Hubert Figuiere 2001-06-15 03:16:29 ------- 
can someone attach a sample document to this bug ?
Thank you.

The dataloss portion of this bug was fixed in bug 1668; the unknown character
looks related to bug 1437 (same kinda problem only with apostrophe instead of
copyright symbol -- they aren't being escaped properly) -- marking as duplicate.

Also, on CVS2001-07-10, i386-linux, DEBUG/GNOME build, the copyright symbol
works for me.

*** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 1437 ***
