Description umr5174 2005-05-24 16:49:53 UTC
In
Tools: Options: Load/Save: Microsoft Office: "MathType to OpenOffice.org
Math/OpenOffice.org Math to MathType",
I chose "L" (load and convert the object), but not S ("Convert and save").

When importing a Microsoft Word 97 document containing a formula with a opening
brace followed by a matrix,
+ the matrix is not treated, as it should be, as the brace's inside element,
+ the part of the formula preceding the opening brace is treated (with a small
brace) as a supplementary element of the matrix,
+ the left alignment of the matrix elements is replaced by a centring alignment.
+ many reverse question marks appear,
+ "less than" and "more than" symbols are replaced by reverse question marks
(while, in other context, they appear correctly).

I'll enclose 2 examples.

I can confirm the problem in OOo1.9.113 on WinXP German.
I will attach an smaler example to isolate the errors.

I have create the example in Word97 (German) with its integrated "Microsoft
Formel-Editor 3.0". I create the two lines after the left brace by using
"Enter". If you create the two lines by using the Word97 matrix-icon the
imported formula will have the structure 'matrix' too and all is displayed
correct. Using "Enter" leads to an import with 'stack'.

If you use "Enter" to create the two lines an attribut "left align" is added in
Word97. This is not added, if you use the matrix-icon in Word. It seems, that
there is a wrong order with 'alignl' 'stack' and 'left lbrace'. Evident error is
the term 'right no' instead of 'right none'.

Besides this structural problem there is an additional error in the example
"equ4.doc". The import generates a 'size 12{<0}' which cannot work in OOo. It
should be 'size 12{{}<0}'.

you posted stuff like this to other issues as well, thus I'm feeling pushed to
react to avoid stuff like that:

> Bug still in OOo 1.9.118.

Is this issue marked resolved/fixed? -> No.
Is this issue closed? -> No.
Given the above, can you expect this issue to be fixed in a version you can
download? -> No.

Please refrain from "me too" style comments in future.

Writting 3 times the same thing is a mistake. I'me very sorry about this.
Writting the state of the bug was not a mistake: I thought it could help,
because often different bugs have a same cause, and a bug happens to be fixed by
another bug's fixing. For instance, this very day, I wrote this about issue
50130, though nobody had marked it "resolved", "fixed" or even "started". One
has to be very patient about issue 5919, opened more than 3 years ago and marked
"started", if, once a bug has been declared, one has only to wait. And this bug
is not a small one for a word processor pretending to be compatible with MS Word.
However, if testing old bugs is useless, I won't make such comments in the
future, and I'm sorry for having made you loose your time.
Thank you for your work.

Due to resource limitation this will be fixed for successor of OO 2.0.
