Word97 file example.
reassigned to mru please take a look on this issue I can reproduce this problem . using 1.1 Rc 4 Win Xp and MS Office XP There is extra bullet at example Casual Staff . . Carol and Media . Rock . change to new added oooqa MRU->DVO: this is due to the more ore less (un)clear concept of numberings/bullets in Redlines. *** Issue 16142 has been marked as a duplicate of this issue. *** *** Issue 24565 has been marked as a duplicate of this issue. *** *** Issue 24702 has been marked as a duplicate of this issue. *** *** Issue 25523 has been marked as a duplicate of this issue. *** No chance to implement a reasonable solution for this until OO 2.0. Target "OO later" now. *** Issue 34698 has been marked as a duplicate of this issue. *** As to my knowledge quite a lot of people get the impression that importing a bulleted Word document in OOo is crappy (and therefor do not use OOo!) I would strongly suggest to solve this item and not postpone it! Forgot to mention: I'm referencing closed Issue 34698. It should be mentioned as a wordkaround that indeed all (?) problems are gone when the Document Change buffer is flushed (by accepting or rejecting them) That makes the difference between a working and a totally non-working solution (a lot of people using Word, esp. in businesses are using Change Tracking) I would therfor suggest to raise the priority to a P2, or provide an active workaround. I once again want to stress the importance of solving this issue. I guess it's not recognized as such, but this is a basic functionality as defined for priority P2 (Basic functionality is not working correctly) Please raise the error level P2. It really should be solved. As stated: too many people trying to import from Word get bad results due to this error and although I'm very enthousiastic about OOo, I am not able to convince them. For them OOo sucks! *** Issue 36878 has been marked as a duplicate of this issue. *** *** Issue 39201 has been marked as a duplicate of this issue. *** I don't know why it added that last comment from me. All I did was add myself to the cc: list! Under WinXP version 5.1 build 2600 which has MS Word 2002 and OOo 1.1.4 installed, I can also reproduce this defect. There are extra bullet points unacceptably at several places in the document in OOo 1.1.4. The page layout spacing in OOo 1.1.4 is also unacceptably different from the text in MS Word 2002 version. Due to this error I (and many others) are unable to use OOo in MSOffice (Word) dominated environments. I regret it, but I have to leave OO, as the issue has not been solved, nor an acceptable workaround been defined. Hoped it had been included with the OOo 2 release, but I guess the OOo Later switch better be read as OOo Never. *** Issue 46775 has been marked as a duplicate of this issue. *** My issue that was closed as a duplicate is Issue 36878 It is not clear to me that these issues are related. However, let me express a view about how tracked changes should work with bullets and numbering, since someone above mentioned it was unclear. The way tracked changes should work with bullets and numbering is exactly how it should work with any other part of the document. That is, what was there before should be marked as a deletion if it has changed and what is there now should be marked as an addition if it wasn't there before. If you add a new paragraph 2. B between these two: 1. A 2. C it would become 1. A 2. B <- both of these marked as insertions 2^H3. C <- where ^H indicates strikethrough of 2 and 3 marked as an insertion Brendan *** Issue 55289 has been marked as a duplicate of this issue. *** *** Issue 72065 has been marked as a duplicate of this issue. *** I agree totally with the various commenters about the importance of this issue. It is probably the most significant reason for my apologising to MS Word users when I send them an OOo document. PS Could someone please change the summary or other header fields to include the word "redline" so that people looking for problems relating to redlines have a better chance of finding it? Corrected some fields and re-assigned. *** Issue 83839 has been marked as a duplicate of this issue. *** *** Issue 88585 has been marked as a duplicate of this issue. *** *** Issue 91816 has been marked as a duplicate of this issue. *** *** Issue 106634 has been marked as a duplicate of this issue. *** *** Issue 115785 has been marked as a duplicate of this issue. *** |
