User 22 North Oak Street Detroit, MI 48201 3. Type some information in the body of the document 4. Save Document 5. Save Document As .. XML Document (*.xml) to a file called TestLetter.xml 6. Close Word Document 7. Open Open Office Writer version 2.0.3 8. Click File/Open. Choose Files of type Microsoft Word 2003 XML (*.xml) 9. Select TestLetter.xml saved in step 5. above 10. Header does not display correctly. a. header truncates or in other documents b. header displays part of the header redundately, but does not display the entire header

Created attachment 39433 [details] Resulting OO XML file
Also wanted to mention that I have tried disabling Word's attempt to mark some of the header information as Smart Tags or Addresses in the hopes that this was not being transformed correctly on import. This does not fix the problem.
Reassigned to JW.
Confirming with OO 2.0.4 on Win XP - Writer imports just first line of the header. IMO, this is severe problem.
confirmed on SRC680_m196 reduced priority set target OOo later reassigned to SUS
