Tomas, I cannot confirm this with the TB0.8 CZ.
Did you try it on more computers?
Is the problem only with .doc files or with other extensions too?

Maybe a duplicate of:
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=264561
[OK button also disabled under rare conditions for specific kind of files]

If a modification of mimetype.rdf in your profile helps (see bug report), it is
possibly a duplicate.
As the reported said in our Czech Mozilla forum -> deleting of the mimetype.rdf
helped him (the file is lost, so we cannot check it). I dit not study hard bug
#264561 but it may be duplicate.

Tomas, please, can you look at the bug #264561 and check, if it is describing
the same problem?
I think it could be duplicate.
OK button was disabled, but I don't know, whether executable, that opens .doc,
.ppt files (soffice.exe) have moved.
