openoffice.org-writer 1:2.0.4-5.5.10@x86_64 can't open MS doc format?

[Neal Becker]

This used to work.  It doesn't anymore.  I have openoffice.org and all
relevant parts installed.  Attempting to open a MS doc file, now it tries
to open as ASCII.  I don't know what broke it - I'm guessing it's the
current openoffice.org version that's at fault.  Anyone else?
