Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 14627
RTF: drawing shapes support required
Last modified: 2013-08-07 14:38:26 UTC
URL Note: Even though the link says the file is an .RTF, it really is a .DOC file, as you will see when you download it. (I can also e-mail you the file if that's easier.) Background: FYI, almost every single USAF solicitation uses this M$ Word format, and this problem seems to occur in all of them, not just this document. I've searched the current issues database, and I couldn't find an open issue that really fit this Writer display issue for Word Text boxes. Problem: The document in question is an example USAF Solicitation (Standard Form 1447 5-88) in Microsoft Word format. After the .DOC file is opened in Writer, the entire first page is missing from the document. This entire page is filled with many Word text boxes. The If opened in M$ Word, it works fine. I have modified the document margins, file import types, etc and I still can't seem to help Writer import this DOC file. This Word formatting problem has existed at least since version 1.0. Please let me know if there's anything else you need from me.
Created attachment 7063 [details] Attached copy of example word document file in question.
Created attachment 7065 [details] Example of this M$ Word DOC file is attached, demonstrating problem.
Kevin: Please advise if upgrading to 1.1rc2 has solved your problem, or if you want to keep this issue open. Thanks, Tam

I can reproduce it at 1.1 Rc4 Win Xp pro. the different is : - first page become blank - Other page are wird and didnt correct the format
The file in fact IS an RTF document. Have a look at the file with a text editor and you'll see... Writer's RTF import does not support Autoshapes from (only the WinWord filter does). It might be implemented for OO 3.0. MRU->CMC: this is the OO version of the feature request for escher objects in RTF.
