I can confirm that bug, but kword didn't crash here. Changed severity to normal.
Here are the error messages:
"An error has occured while parsing the KWord file.
At line: 1, column 1
Error message:
QXml(I18N_EXCESS_ARGUMENTS_SUPPLIED)"
And then:
"Could not save /home/username/test.doc
Reason: Internal error: saveXML not implemented"

I used same versions as in initial report, with german locale.

Hello,

Using kword from SVN trunk r876128 i cannot reproduce the problem. Can you still reproduce it? Thanks.

Comment 3 Dominik Tritscher 2008-12-07 12:53:16 UTC

I just tried with kword beta3 and the problem still exists. As beta3 was release in late november, i assume it should be newer than r876128.

SVN commit 918636 by zander:

Fixes: KWord fails on saving "word" format
BUG:167492
Details: KWord does not know how to save to the old format natively, so we can't use filters
    that expect that format as an input format.
