confirming and adding keyword ms_interoperability khbellgardt: There is a workaround for 2) - Import the .doc-ument - copy the word-graphic (to the clipboard) - insert it as GDI Metafile (via menu Edit - Insert as...) If you insert it to a Draw document you will be able to break (? GErman "Aufbrechen") the Object and edit the elements. This is not very handy and may cause layout problems (size information are not correct). But it may be a strating point for a better automatism. Reassigned to MRU Here, the conversion of MS Word Picture objects is requested. I think, there are some other (like the "MS Graph Chart Objects) which might be candidates for some more object conversion options. OpenOffice.org Issue Tracker - Feedback Request. The Issue you raised has the status 'New' pending further action, but has not been updated within the last 4 years. Please consider re-testing with one of the latest versions of OOo, as the problem(s) may have already been addressed. Either use the recent stable version: http://download.openoffice.org/index.html or consider trying the new OOo 3 BETA (still in testing): http://download.openoffice.org/3.0beta/ Please report back the outcome so this Issue may be Closed or Progressed as necessary - otherwise it may be Resolved as Invalid in the future. You may also wish to search for (and note) any duplicates of this Issue that may have advanced further by checking the Issue Tracker: http://www.openoffice.org/issues/query.cgi Many thanks, Andrew Cleaning-up and Closing old Issues as part of: ~ The Grand Bug Squash, pre v3 ~ http://marketing.openoffice.org/3.0/announcementbeta.html The addressed conversion feature is still missed in OOo 2.4. It could save a lot of work for people migrating their documents to OOo, although I think the way back by storing a converted OOo document back to MS format would be difficult. I have found, that it is now possible to scale embedded writer object [option 1) above], so the hurdles for manual conversion became a bit lower. Nevertheless, an automatic conversion would be nice. To grep the issues easier via "requirements" I put the issues currently lying on my owner to the owner "requirements". |
