Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 25591
Word filter incorrectly wraps text in table cells
Last modified: 2004-02-18 16:30:53 UTC
When opening a MS Word file in OOo Writer, text that fills an entire cell of a table is wrapped and takes up two lines even though it only takes up one line when opened in Word.

please attach the offending document to this issue, so that we can reproduce and fix the problem here. You can also send the document directly (mru@openoffice.org) for the case it contains confidential data. Feel free to re-open the issue when you've done. Thanks for supporting us!
I attached the document that I was having trouble with.
MRU->US: does not look like a problem of the import. Only OO for Linux shows this problem (SO on Linux also o.k.). Seems to be with the font which is supplied with OO and "Arial" becomes mapped to...
us: yes, mru is right. Because Arial is obviously not available on the Linux system OOo substitutes the font with the closest match, which is Helvetica. But the tracking and the size of Helvetica of course differs. That's why it comes to admittedly unpleasant layout changes. The only solution is to have exactly the same fonts on the different platforms. Sorry, but invalid.
Closing as Resolved Invalid.
