    I saved a file in Abiword as "Microsoft Word (.doc)".

    Then later I tried to open it by choosing "Microsoft Word" as type instead
    of auto detect.

    A password box popped up and then dialog box said it was "bogus or invalid
    document".

    It opens fine as set as RTF or auto detect. (I know it was really RTF.)

    If abiword can save it as "Microsoft Word" then abiword should be smart
    enough to know to accept RTF when "Word" is used for opening.

    I didn't see this at bugzilla.

    I was able to reproduce this issue. This is 0.99.5 installed via NetBSD
    pkgsrc (abiword-personal-0.99.5). (Sorry didn't try with latest code.)
