Thanks for posting Ed.

Just a heads up, OOo 1.0.1 has been released.

Could you please attach all the files we need to reproduce this issue?

Thanks.

Hi, Ed
am implanting the messages your sent to the mailing list by mistake.
:
Hi,
I D/l'd ver 1.01 as you suggested. The good news is that the file no
longer crashes, but the formatting is rather badly 'screwed-up' and the
hyperlink address shows, whereas in Word '97, 2000 & XP the picture acts
as the link.
I have attached the file as requested. It is one of my daughter's grade
7 school assignments and is pure 'fiction'!! She told me to say that!!!

Created attachment 2832 [details]
word.doc that exhibits reported issues

Ed, I'm glad your comments made it back to this issue.  Thanks Louis 
and Diane for your help.

Ed, I opened up the attached document in Word 2000, and I see the 
link in text.

The documents look fairly similiar to me.  Could you please point out 
exactly the parts of the document that OOo is importing incorrectly?

OO screenshot full (original) doc

I have attached 4 screenshots and the 'original' file. For some reason
(probably best known by Microsoft, the 'original' file that my
daughter created which has hyper-links to the NASA web site, is 3.4mb
long. I reduced the size to send to you by deleting the 2nd page in OO
and zipped that. I didn't open it again in WORD but I now note that
the editing in OO has 'added' the hyperlink text, which as you can see
in the original FULL doc does not exhibit that in WORD but does in OO.
Also in WORD, the picture acts as a hyperlink 'button'. You can see
that the page fonts and layout are quite a bit different on both the
FULL doc and the 'edited' one. I used exactly the same files for each
of these 2 sets of screenshot.
At the monment I don't seem to be able to add the other attachments,
but I will as soon as I am able.

The ORIGINAL WORD 2000 .doc (zipped)

I just uploaded the original WORD 2000 doc and also a screenshot from
the WORD2000/win98SE pc that the file was originally created on by my
daughter for a school project.
All the other screenshots, conversions/zipping etc were done on my
Pent VI 'XP HOME' pc running WORD XP and OO 1.0.1.
I have to apologise as I named the full doc jpgs the wrong way around.
This is pretty obvious from the window title bars!! I use ANALOGX's
great little util CAPTURE (www.analogx.com) but it saves with a
timestanmp and BMP format so I had to rename and also convert to JPG.

Thanks Ed for the original document and the screenshots.

The pictures in this document are loaded dynamically when the 
document is opened.

The issue at hand it whether OOo supports the MS field code

HYPERLINK


Ed as a workaround, I'd download the images and just add them to the 
document.

Summing it up it seems to be only "strange formatting" left in this issue.

To all who intend to _contribute_ to oo.org:

Please don't let issues "mutate". In this case, the issue should have
been closed as soon as a newer version didn't show the crash anymore. 

The formatting thingie is something totally different, doesn't match
the summary/issue title and should have gotten an issue of its own
with a - guess... - a summary that meets the findings.

IT COMPLICATES THINGS if you use an issue as a "private newsgroup",
mutating a problem to another one. This is counter-productive in total.

Thank you for your comprehension.

I changed the title. Old title: "Crash when loading Word'97 with
hyperlinks to Web"

Reassigned to Michael.

Hi All,
I appreciate the comments about mutating. This is my first experience
dealing with open source and I appreciate the fine work that is being
done, but common courteousy would be appreciated and a little less
bite to your comments. Especially if you expect input from 'ordinary'
users. If you only want feedback from 'techie' types like yourself
then restrict the access.
Also I was responding to what I thought was a personal email
initially. Maybe your system needs to be a bit more 'user-friendly' a
comment that has been expressed about unix/linux 'types' many, many
times before. It seems that it still continues to be the case in some
people/systems!!!

Unless I get some sort of apology for the very 'rude' tone of the last
  comment, I will no longer offer my active co-operation or
participation. I, along with Diane have spent at least 8 hours trying
to get this issue with all its attachment/problems attaching files etc
resolved and I do not need the aggravation. Thanks!!!

MRU->CMC: First, take the latest upload (which is marked as "The
ORIGINAL WORD 2000 .doc"). The import gives also three Asserts
"Auswertung fehlt noch - Daten unbekannt" (for each graphic?). The
content of the hyperlinks then is added to the bodytext, not as
graphic property.

fields inside fields are a problem, because writer itself generally
can't do them. Hyperlinks are an exception as they are not fields in
writer, so we should technically be able to import this example. The
code currently isn't set up to make an exception for hyperlinks so
thats why there is trouble with this. Generally we *can* import and
export hyperlinks, including the case of a hyperlinked graphic
inserted with insert graphic and then a hyperlink added to that with
the right click context menu.

No quick fix for this, it'll take time to rework the fields in fields
code to allow the includepicture field to work inside the hyperlink field.

There's an earlier report of this problem, so mark as duplicate.

Working in SRX644h

Yeah, looks much better with internal 644L. 
Fix will be available with openOffice 644 build.

Fix will be included in OpenOffice 1.1 beta.
