Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 22273
Line Spacing choice handled incorrectly in OOo 1.1 Word
Last modified: 2013-08-07 14:41:36 UTC
Line spacing choices affect the spacing both above *and* below where it is applied. This is incorrect relative to the way that Microsoft Word handles line spacing which only applies the spacing below. This is fairly important as it means that all Microsoft documents with non-uniform line spacing choices will be imported incorrectly.
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.
Can confirm this with OOo1.1.0(en) on Win98. The attached doc shows the middle paragraph "double spaced". Note that the space to the preceeding paragraph is the same as to the following paragraph. Now click > Format > Paragraph > Indents.. > Line spacing: The preview shows the space to the previous paragraph as "single line" as opposed to the "1.5 lines" spacing to the following paragraph. The preview indicates that actual spacing behaviour was intended to behave differently. So I will leave it as Defect (though it seems more like a RFE).

HI->MRU: Please compare.
MRU->OD: This should be the problem we recently talked about when discssing the new alignment handling. The compatibility option we mentioned at this time should solve the problem if this issue. Please re-assign to me, when implemented.
There is a problem with line spacing in tables which seems to be related to this problem, although it's not a matter of too much space between lines but of not enough space between lines. See Issue 22387.
The different line spacing behaviour between OOo Writer and MS Word is already covered by the enhancement issue #i11859. Thus, mark this issue as duplicate. Note: The spacing in table cells - mentioned by pinkernell - isn't related to this issue and is covered by another issue. *** This issue has been marked as a duplicate of 11859 ***
OD->MRU: Checked in installation set of cws swlinespacing - please verify.
Checked implementation in CWS swlinespacing.
Verified.
