The problems with this forum post/thread are:
1. the general forum user is *not* allowed to post hashes (see https://hashcat.net/forum/announcement-2.html ) without explicit permission from a moderator/the admin
2. you fake a problem that is not a problem at all (bug with 9700), because -m 9700 according to the --help and many,many other forum threads (for instance this one: https://hashcat.net/forum/thread-3665-po...l#pid20945) is not meant to find collisions for office hashes
3. the hash you posted works without problems here and cracks very quickly, of course by specifying the correct hash type on command line, i.e. -m 9710
The selection from --help:
9710 = MS Office <= 2003 MD5 + RC4, collider-mode #1
it even contains the words "collider" to make it very clear for everyone that this is the mode you need to use for office <= 2003 documents to collide the hash.
I will remove the hash from your previous post (and in theory you should be banned already for not respecting the forum rules).
