Description openoffice 2005-11-09 13:35:11 UTC
Since you all probably have too much time, here's a wonderful new bug report to 
keep you people busy: ;-)


To reproduce:
1) load bugdoc in MS Word (2003)
2) load bugdoc in OOo 2
3) gasp and behold the difference

I have no idea how the .doc was produced, but it contains a section with two 
columns, where the first column covers the entire page, and the second column 
has no width at all. The result is a normal one-page one-column document, but 
actually using two columns. Which doesn't make any sense, but when did that 
ever matter.

OOo reads the two columns, and makes the first 1 inch wide, and uses all the 
remaining space for the remainder. Which means you have a thin column of text 
on the left side, instead of a full-page view.


Since the attributes (as displayed by the respective UIs) don't match, I 
suspect it's a problem in the WW8 parser. Henning, according to current rumours 
that's your playground now. Please prioritize or forward as appropriate. Have 
fun.

(Subjective priority on my side is low.)
