[ale] this week's WTF

[Sean Kilpatrick]

Don't think it is a virus problem.  I can save other .doc files as .odt 
files with no problem.  It is as if this particular file has some sort of 
meta data that is screwing up the works. Cups can't process it for the 
printer and I can't change the file format to .odt, or pdf, or any other 
Micro$oft format.

I have no clue how to read the meta data on Word files. It is possible that 
my wife's Mac has become infected, but that seems unlikely, unless she 
contracted the bug through Emory.  Then again I haven't heard of any virii 
that just screw around with Word files.

I was able, finally, to Save As an html document and then open and save 
that as an .odt file.

But it would be nice to know how to isolate the actual problem.
