Description caolanm 2003-10-08 11:14:14 UTC 
In the (to be attached) example there are three cases.

The first two cases are a tab and no following content to a tabstop outside the
page text area where word will not line wrap, but writer will. This is quite a
common case, the filter until recently would strip out trailing tabstops. The
underlined example of case two shows the obvious problem with that approach.

And case three shows an uncommon trick which you can make word do with these
tabstops

Comment 2 caolanm 2003-10-08 11:21:51 UTC 
cmc->ama: Pre integration of kilkennyfilterteam14 we strip off
trailing tabs when a paragraph has tabstops outside the page text
area. This works fairly well for the general (and most common) case,
but fails for example in issue 11873 and in cases 2 and 3 of the
attachment. So if imported in writer right now then case 1 and 2 need
to have a tab appended to return to the original word content to see
the problem.

This was a nasty hack which has all sorts of problems, we I'm going to
have to remove it, but that leaves us with the original layout
difference problem again :-(
Comment 3 andreas.martens 2003-10-29 16:47:46 UTC 
The following improvement for tab stop is planned for OOo2.0 as part
of issue 20195
A tab position outside the paragraph text area will be interpreted as
tab position at the right margin of the paragraph. We will not be able
to put text outside the paragraph but it will be no problem to
"underline" the rest of a line, the tab will not cause an extra line
as it does today.

One for you :-)

Comment 7 andreas.martens 2003-12-04 11:06:17 UTC 
In my last attachment you'll find another problem: if the text behind
a tabstop doesn't fit into the line not only the text jumps into the
next line. The tabulator itself moves to the next line, too.

Fixed in cws tabstops.

SBA: Verified in CWS tabstops. 
Note: The "Text outside text area via tabstop" will move into the next line.
