Description ivwhiting 2004-04-27 14:07:08 UTC 
When you import an MSWORD document the margin sizes are changed from the 
original document. The effect of this is that if you have a document that just 
fits onto one page with small margin settings in word, when you import it into 
OOo Writer the margin size is inacurate and the document rolls onto another 
page. 
 
This is reproducable. 
 
The margin sizes should be read from the document and set in OOo Writer on a 
document for document basis.

Please re-open this issue. I have e-mailed the offending document to 
mru@openoffice.org as it is a sensitive document.

Reopening issue. Doc has been sent.
Comment 4 michael.ruess 2004-05-04 13:04:18 UTC 
MRU->FME: I'll forward you the doc via Mail (confidetial content).
It seems, that there is a problem with the font "Tahoma", that this won't work
correctly in OO though printer-independent layout. Text is exactly two pages
long, but has some additional lines in OO Writer.
Comment 5 frank.meies 2004-05-10 08:36:07 UTC 
Changed title. The margins are not changed. The problem is that Word uses a
different bullet font. Therefore the line size in bullet lists differs between
Word and Writer.
Comment 6 frank.meies 2004-05-11 13:07:57 UTC 
FME: Most probably a compatibility option is needed for this. Therefore I set
this to 'enhancement'.
