Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 10507
hyphenation errors
Last modified: 2003-09-08 16:56:16 UTC
The hyphenation dictionary improperly inserts hyphens before the final "s" of a plural noun. Example: mistake-[new line]s The hyphenation dictionary (or some other module) improperly inserts a soft line break before a close-quotation mark. Example: He said "Thank you.[new line]" I did not notice this problem in the earlier builds. This also occurs in Win 2000 Pro.
Reassigned to MRU
I am not able to reproduce the problem either with OO 1.0.1, 643 or 643C. could you please attach a document to this issue which demonstrates the problem? Thank you very much.

OK, from your pdf I can see that you have the problem, but I need the original sxw file to rpeoduce it (and the developer needs it to debug). Additionally it could be interesting what kind of printer you use (or if it only occurs with the pdf printer). Thank you very much! P.S. You can provide the file directly (mru@openoffice.org) for the case you do not want that it shouldn't be shared in the community. We will handle it confidentially.
No response for several weeks now. Issue is invalid. Feel free to reopen it when you cann attach the Writer sample file.
