Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 46083
SXW/DOC to ODT conversion doesn't carry over embedded versions
Last modified: 2013-08-07 14:38:26 UTC
Converting from a SXW Text Document to the new ODT format won't save the embedded versions from the SXW file. It also won't do this with M$ Word DOC files either.
ES->DVO: Versions (File - Versions) are not saved from sxw to odt. Data loss -> P2.

This does the same thing on the windows version. I have a dualboot system with OOO2beta on both sides. I use linux 90% of the time and I didn't know whether or not to add a separate bug. I assumed you check the bugs between both versions.
Considering the effort, the priority, the risk and our resource planning I've to retarget this issue to OOo Later.
At least it's being seen to. Half of my documents will have to wait till then for full carryover conversion seeing as how I ditched M$ Office. Hopefully OOoLater won't be much later. Thanks!
Created attachment 27449 [details] I think it related problem. I can't view versions - changes in OOo2 in this document. 1.1.4 works fine.
If it's not going to be possible to fix this for the release, would it be possible to add a warning to the save dialogue when you save an old OOo SXW file as an ODT? Because until I suffered this problem, I assumed that the new format included all information from the old files -- this issue is pretty significant for people who use the Versions feature. The problem doesn't appear to be mentioned in the help files or README.
