Description kingshome 2006-07-04 09:01:58 UTC 
I have received a Word doc (version unknown but likely to be very recent) which,
when read into ooo2.0.2 and ooo 2.0.3 on win2k and Suse Linux 10 displays the
tabs  differently.

Section 7 of the attached document 'Community directory proforma.doc' is set out
with tabs (no comment on the word processing procedure please - I didn't type it!).

The attached pdf file 'comparison.pdf' shows what it looks like in Word and Ooo2
with and without tabs revealed.  Several of the sections are out of alignment,
and ooo seems to be interpreting the first tab length differently from Word.

MRU->FME: Open my shorter attachment. In the paragraphs "Animals" and "Art and
craft" e.g. the layout is different in comparision to MS Word. It looks that the
characters of the "Comic sans MS" Font are rendered wider than in MS Word, so
that the tabls will be moved one tab position further.
