Several user hostile issues especially affecting education users in UK. There are many example files in url quoted. With reference to TU7.4.doc from that suite: i) Document opens by default with page format parameters related to letter size paper. MS opens with A4 paper size. ii) Graphical features rendered differently - size and position errors. (Pages 4, 8 and similar) iii) Bullet indentation is messed up on the same pages. UK govt content suppliers are prolific users of MS features, and provide a rich source of compatibility audit material. If we hope to win market share from the content users (especially the education sector) we need to get this more right more often. I wish I had time to do more.

i) I cannot reproduce this. When I open the mentioned file, tha paper fpormat is correctly set to "Letter". ii) is due to the fact, that Writer is not able to position graphics and frames with a negative vertical position. Is handled in issue #84546. iii)wrong bullet indents are fixed in OO 1.1 RC. Due to the fact, that you submitted more than one problem in one issue, it is not posible to set a suitable resolution state. Thus I set it to "fixed", because i) works for me and iii) is already fixed. ii) is handled in a different issue.
Closed.
