Description umr5174 2005-06-14 15:49:28 UTC 
This bug as already been described as soon as for OOo 1.0.0 , three years ago :
issue 5919
but astonishingly is still there.
At least Eq fields should be converted in OOo formulae,
but this would be the poor man's solution.
The reason I use Eq fields is their characters accept text attributes (including
styles) the same way text does (and together with neighbouring text) :
one doesn't need to open one by one each and every formula to modify font, size
etc..
So a true solution would be to provide such features for OOo formulae, and to
convert Eq fields into such formulae, with an "inherited style and attribute
switch" on.

> In OpenOffice Writer 1.1.2 formula (=sum) in table is lost (but original value
of sum is displayed), when I save my document in Word 97/2000/XP format and
reopen this document from .doc file. Is this the same bug or I should report
another ?

This is not the same problem, so you should file a new issue. You can cc me to
the new issue or send me a mail with the ID, so I'll go and verify it.

The second sentence of OOo web site main page is " Compatible with all other
major office suites (...) ".
So not importing MS Word 97 Eq fields is a non negligible compatibility defect,
not only a requirement.

closing as duplicate.

As verry correct pointed out by the reporter, the issue already exists. So .. no
sence to ob´pen a second one.

Removing Thalion72 from cc, as this is my old nick (yes .. i have reported issue
5919)

Until EQ fields are converted, they should at least NOT BE IGNORED but be
replaced with something like '##EQ', so that the user can find those flags and
replace them 'by hand', using OpenOffice Math.
