Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 57576
Column settings not properly read in .doc document

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.)
Created attachment 31296 [details] bugdoc; text should cover entire page, but in OOo doesn't
