Description jorgefm 2009-08-21 11:35:28 UTC
When incrusting an object ODS inside an ODP with the property Fact numeric 
zero to white in the ODP one doesn't keep in mind, however, when you enter in 
the incrusted ODS you leave correctly.

I am not sure if I understand your problem completely. Please give a detailed
step by step description and add, if useful, screenshots. Thanks.

I am a partner of Jorge and would like to provide more detail on what is
happening. The key here is the property that can be found in Options Dialog:

OpenOffice.org Calc -> View -> Display -> Zero Values

We uncheck this checkbox in a ods file and cell containing zeros do not show the
number and seem to be empty. This is the behaviour we want.

The problem comes when we insert this ods file into an odp one. In this case the
zeros are shown no matter what the setting was regarding zero values in the ods
file.

Is this clear enough? I can provide two shots but i think that they are not needed.

Thanks a lot for your prompt answer.

Comment 4 wolframgarten 2009-08-26 12:05:15 UTC
Thanks for your explanation. Since the Impress is not capable of displaying this
calc feature this is an enhancement, not a defect. It needs to be implemented.
Reassigned.

so, what are the steps now? Is there any way to know if this will be implemented
or not? Do oo.org team need something from our side?

We’ve tried version 3.2 and the error is still in there.

Andrius Kuznecovas (BBST Courses):

I can confirm that the issue is reproducible with the older version of OpenOffice v3.2 but it's now seems to be fixed because it's not reproducible anymore with OpenOffice v4.1.1 on OS X (10.10.3).

Initial steps to reproduce the issue is now irrelevant because latest OpenOffice introduced different workflows (you can't find some of the menus and some naming are now different as well). It's still possible to recreate the scenario with a little bit different workflow but everything is working as expected.

To reproduce the issue with version 3.2:

Create new Impress document.
Create new Calc document with various values in there (make sure you have zero values).
Insert Calc in the menu (Insert->Plugins->Calc).
Go to View -> Display -> Zero Values (in the ods file).
All the cells containing zeros do not show up (shows empty fields).
As a workaround (if someone still needs to use this old version of OpenOffice):

In the Calc before importing into Impress:
Create IF statements in fields that if they are zeros then fields should be in string/text format.
Now when you import Calc in the Impress and select (View->Display->Zero Values) they will show up as expected.
To sum-up: this bug is irrelevant (not reproducible / fixed) with the latest version of OpenOffice and should be closed.
