Hi,

Beats me. :-/
What bothers me most is the fact apache is not logging the call to the  
uploadscript.
I think I would focus on that first before worrying about conversions via 
word/open office/etc.
I looks like the upload is failing at a very early stage...
Some currupt headers or something that confuses Apache enough to refuse to 
log it.
I never have been in that situation before.

Maybe you could repost your problem in an apache newsgroup if noby in here 
comes up with ideas.

Good luck.
