Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 2393
Some problems with this word document.
Last modified: 2003-09-08 16:56:16 UTC
I had already submitted bugs on this doc, but they are already closed. 1) Problems opening in Ooo: a) the line after the logo is aligned lower than in Word and the whole text under it is also a bit misaligned b) the tables (Arve, Kuupaev, Klient, Aadress) are not so aligned to the vertical baseline how they should (in Word they are also not so good aligned, but in OOo it is very annoing) c) the spreadshit is overlayed by the grey table and is not visible. The anchor for the spreadshit is inside the grey table d) Dunno why but in OOo the title "Hind km-ga" does not fit into the cell e) the border lines inside the spreadshits are too bold f) the borderline about the spreadshit are too thik (not as bold as they should) 2) Problems opening this file in MS Word after opening and saving in OOo: a) same as 1a b) same as 1b, but tables had much more lost they vertical baseline aligment c) in tables the data alligned to the left or right are to close to the align line (in case of "text alligned to the right baseline | text alligned to the left baseline" they just does not overwrite each other) d) only a half of the "number" mark is visible (I do believe it depends to the 2c problem) e) inside spreadshits the üõöä letters (umlauts) are shown as ???? (so, internationalization problem) f) try to open the spreadshits and exit - they contain a wide area of cells now. You must get them as the size they were before were manually. That's for one, but complicated document. :)
Created attachment 747 [details] a word .doc
Created attachment 748 [details] a result of saving this doc in OOo. Open in Word.
Also compare the size of the original Word doc and one the OOo has generated...
Reassigned to Michael.
For the future: Pleas use this tool to submit ONE issue for ONE problem. Please do NOT describe several problems in one issue even if they occur in the same Document!!!! This will become a whole chaos for fixing bugs and keeping a looks on what´s fixed and what isn´t! Thank you for your patience!
The only real bug is described by 1b) The misalignment results from the fact, that OO unfortunately ignores the table´s spacing to the left. We handle this issue internaly. I think it will be fixed in an OO with a number higher than 641. The other problems are due to the fact, that OO and Word behave different in a few aspects. in the following I´ll try to explain it to you: 1) a) the first paragraph in the header has a font height of 36 pt. I don´t know why Word displays it like a 12pt-paragraph, but when you fill it with text, it expands to it´s real 36pt and the line also moves down. c) the object is anchored to the first cell in the table above it(also in Word). Writer´s tables are not capable of displaying frames/objects outside the table, when they arew anchored inside. Dev tries to improve this behaviour after the final release of StarOffice 6.0. d) Word and OO have different handlings of font sizes/dimensions and spacings. OO takes the information from the printer, Word has it´s own dimensioning. e)+f) MS Office and OO use different line types. So when importing OO has to match which line type comes nearest to those from MS. Sometimes this can lead to differences when they are displayed. The problems mentioned about the export to Word-format are all results of the issues in the Import: what becomes imported is exported like this!
I close this one, because the only bug in it is handled internaly now.
And the 2e issie? It prevents us to use OO.
That´s what I said about "exporting the document"... Well, saving a document in a an alien format is called "EXPORT".
So, no chance for fixing this? And using OO becomes impossible in most of Europe's contries since they languages have umlauts? Our plans to promoute SO in our country has been destroied since 99% using Word and umlauts. Or have I misunderstood smth?
