Ok, it seems as if I managed it to restore everything by copying everything to a new document (but not the table of contents, this had to be regenerated). I think the problem was a pasted part from a Word-document, which disturbed the "style and formatting". The only entry in the table of contents was from that part of the document. Since it seems to be a "inserting of formatted text problem", I think that this issue can be reduced to P2. Can some, who has the privileges, do that? @parity That sounds like a serious problem, but unfortunately currently I do not see any chance to get that reproducible, so that a developer can search for the reasons. It would be deserving if you could create a short Word document and a short OOo document and a step by step instruction how to reproduce the problem by pasting some contents from the WORD document to the OOo document. @rainerbielefeld: I just tried to reproduce the problem by starting a small document and pasting the mentioned part of the word document. I am sorry, I cannot reproduce this bug anymore. It happened once and was very unpretty but I cannot attach the big document because it is confidential. But I now recognized that the pasted Word-Document contains "styles and formattings" which are interpreted as "Headings". That's why the table of contents changed. But still it is not clear why all the Heading Enumerations are missing and why no other heading is inserted in the table of contents. @rainerbielefeld:
Ok, now I even have some more informations. By the way: I use the german version
of OpenOffice.org.
I opened the mentioned document today again and I recognized that in the "styles
and formatting" window, there are defined the normal headings (which are called
"Ãœberschrift 1", "Ãœberschrift 2", ... in German). But the pasting of the
Word-Document declared some additional headings, which are top-level in the
hierarchical view. They have the normal English names ("Heading 1", "Heading 2",
...). The Outline numbering option is now only assigned to these (new) headings.
And even the table of contents does only recognize these new headings. The
normal "Ãœberschrift 1" does not get a number anymore and is not in the table of
contents.
So I think this issue should be renamed to: "After pasting of a part of a .doc
file, outline numbering of Headings is broken".
P.S.: The Word Document was opened in OpenOffice.org and pasted from there to
the mentioned document.

Here you can see the additional wrong heading styles
As I told before, I cannot attach the whole document. But maybe somebody knows in which .xml file, the style and formatting is saved. So maybe I can unzip the file and attach only that .xml file. If that helps. I believe a short OOo document containing some original OOo headings, some pasted WORD headings, a table of contents and also the short WORS source document containing only few text and the pasted headings might be helpful. I did a quick test with headings outline numbering for a document with included paragraphs from WORD and was not able to reproduce your problem. Created attachment 37212 [details]
Here is the damaged document containing only some example text
I just attached an example document containing the formatting issue. The Table with XX's was a Word-Document opened in OpenOffice.org Writer 2.0.2 and copyied to this document. I just attached a document containing this formatting issue. The table with XX's was in a Word-document which was then opened in OpenOffice.org Writer 2.0.2 and from there copyied to this document. It seems to be the source of the issue since it defined some additional headings which make the "normal" headings useless. Yeah, I can see the problem in the document there. As it looks, the problems happens when pasting text from The Word document into the Writer document. Then, the new styles will be inserted into the Writer document and the settings in Tools.Outline will be scratched. Please attach the mentioned Word document (or send to mru@openoffice.org if it's confidential) so that we can reproduce the issue here. I have discovered when this happens. I will attach a sample file. Created attachment 37248 [details]
Document to show the outline problem when pasting
MRU->HBRINKM: open the attached document in MS Word, select all and copy to clipboard. In Writer document paste the clipboard content as RTF -> the heading will now have the style "heading x". The are also now present in the outline dialog. We should really get rid of this nasty bug in the future. set target to 2.x Hello, will this issue be fixed in the next releases? according to release status meeting: target 3.x . Reset assigne to the default "issues@openoffice.apache.org". |
