Description Unknown 2001-09-12 10:04:24 UTC 
When I save Writer document as winword file I lose Lithuanian (and Russian too)
characters. I see ? instead of all Lithuanian characters.

Reassigned to MRU.
Comment 2 michael.ruess 2001-10-17 15:58:39 UTC 
I cannnot reproduce this here with the WinWord 97/2000/XP Filter. Do 
you use the WinWord 6.0 or WinWord 95 Filter? Then it does not 
surprise me, because these two filters do not support Unicode 
characters. Please check it out end give your (additional) comment.
Comment 3 Unknown 2001-10-17 20:48:01 UTC 
Word 97/2000 filter works very well. I have problems with winword 6 filter. What 
difference between converting from Unicode to RTF and from Unicode to Word 6? I 
know that Unicode->RTF works very well.
Comment 4 michael.ruess 2001-10-18 08:26:20 UTC 
That´s easy to explain... WinWord 6 (also 95) does not support 
Unicode at all, so the file file format isn´t either...
RTF is updated continuously by MS, it is unicode capable.
Due to this facts I think no one disagrees with closing this issue.
Comment 5 michael.ruess 2001-10-18 08:27:46 UTC 
Closed.
Comment 6 edas 2003-05-06 17:42:42 UTC 
I can't agree with definition CLOSED. Without proper export to unicode
unaware formats it's unable to use OOO as the only office program (we
must use Word). E.g. it's impossible to place text into QuarkXpress,
PageMaker, FrameMaker, etc.

There is something of a possibility of a solution for this.
Comment 8 caolanm 2003-05-07 09:04:33 UTC 
This is the same as issue 12445. There isn't a solution right now, but
in the near future I hope to come up with one. Just setting this to
duplicate of 12445 to let you know that it's not forgotten about.
