Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 15341
Copy and paste from Word 2000
Last modified: 2003-09-08 16:56:16 UTC
I am attaching 2 documents: a Word 2000 document, which is my thesis and a staroffice document. I opened the word document in SO 6.1Beta2 and pasted about 25 pages into a new SO document. The problems are the following: 1. Double-spaced text in the original became single-spaced in the copy. 2. Text-wrap around figure 1 (page 15) got messed up. As a result, the figure is now overlapping the text in table 1. 3. Section breaks before table 2 got lost. As a result, the table which was supposed to be seen in landscape format is being seen in portrait format. This is my biggest concern. 4. Page numbering information was not copied. I would have expected the .sxw document to have page numbering because the word document had it. 5. The original text was justified. The copy is only left-justified. I must say that the word document opened in SO6.1B2 just fine.

Though this all regards clipboard issues, please submit ONe issue for ONE problem (have a look at the "submitting rules" on OOo), because they all regard different code areas of the clipboard code in OO. Thank you for your patience.
Closed, because not submitted correctly.
