Description divo76 2008-05-14 12:50:30 UTC 
Summary:

Writer is not able to open documents that contain a text:h child-node inside a
draw:text-box node. 

Detailed Description:

According to the ODT 1.0 schema definition a draw:text-box node may contain
text-content which also includes text:h nodes.

If a document contains such a text:h, a non-explicatory error message is shown
("Error reading file.") when trying to open the document and the document is not
opened. In versions prior to OOo 2.4.0 document recovery is started (which fails
to recover the document).

This error is reproducible on several machines and different platforms (Win** +
Linux) and in different versions of OOo (2.4.0 and earlier).

KWord (1.6.3) and Lotus Symphony are able to open such documents as well as the
OpenXML/ODF Translator Add-in for Word, thus it would be an improvement to
interoperability if OOo also could handle such documents. 

At least, OOo could treat the text:h as a text:p node in the context of a
text-box node.

AFIAK, styles are not allowed in drawing text boxes, right? 
So such assignments for text in drawings should be ignored on import (or stored
in a buffer), so that a 3rd party odf could at least be opened.
