Word 5.1 File format is completely different. So that is not a
bug, it is a feature.
To developpers: is it possible to make sure the .doc file you get
is an OLE file, and if not try to import it as a docfile
stream... (because on this point Word 5.x Mac is not really
different to a Word 6.0 docfile once OLE enveloppe has been
removed) ?

Export to RTF and try again. Sorry.
