 ### Open a Word (*.doc) document containing incremental save information
 
 Essential DocIO process the content that are preserved in the last complete save operation alone from a Word (.doc) document and it doesn't process the incremental save information. Hence it throws "Complex format is not supported" exception when attempting to open a Word (.doc) document containing incremental save information.
