Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 20604
Wrong placement of captions when saving to Microsoft Word format
Last modified: 2013-08-07 14:41:36 UTC
When saving in Microsoft Word (97/2000/XP) format, if there are pictures with captions, the caption is placed under the picture itself, as I can see it using directly Microsoft Word (Office XP), so that it is actually invisible, but it is present, as I can see moving the picture around.
Please Attach the documents which make this problem, so we can test it/faster to confirm. (Without the documents, we cannot confirm the problem easily/need more time) Don't forget to cut other part of the documents, so the file size is small, but we still able to see the problem.
Created attachment 10060 [details] Testcase, save as Microsoft Word 97/98/2000/XP and open with MS word
I can Reproduce the problem on OpenOffice 1.1 (default Install, US), Win XP Pro Sp1. (And MS Office XP Sp2). It is real problem I open the file, save as MS Word format. open it in MS Word XP. The text Illustration 1 - A sample diagram is moved behind the Diagram, from the bottom
set target to OOo Later reassigned to mru
set target to OOo2.0
MRU->CMC: I think, we should export graphics inside frames "inline", seems the only way to keep them inside the frame for WW format. What is your opinion about this?
That's the conclusion I've also come to, but we cannot handle escher drawings inline yet. Thats a new feature in word I haven't figured out. So this depends on issue 3958.
Implemented in portlaoisefilterteam16 for 2.0 now that issue 3958 is also implemented
reopen to reassign
cmc->mru: Good in Fri-Nov-07-16-00 portlaoisefilterteam16 installset, except that word and writer handle the above value spacing for the first line of text in a frame (and document) differently, so part of the caption is clipped out when viewed in word. In writer regardless of the value its treated as a 0 when one of our compatability options is enabled. Perhaps we should have a new feature to hardcode this on export as 0 to word.
Checked fix with CWS portlaoisefilterteam16. I don't think, that we need an export feature which treats the spacing as 0. As I heard, there should be new defaults in Writer's compatibility options, which makes Writer behave more like Word than in older Writer versions.
Verified. Fix will be integrated in OO 2.0.
Checked with OO 2.0 snapshot build 680m35. Closed.
