Description spontz 2006-11-25 16:33:31 UTC
Open Office is not importing certain EMF files correctly, nor does it correctly
interpret the content from which those files were made when it is copied and
pasted into OO Writer.

The problem is that additional lines are drawn into these graphics, connecting
points which are not meant to be connected.  This happens any time I attempt to
use these files in Open Office, whether in Writer or in Draw.

The content in question is created in the program Glyphotext
(http://glyphotext.net/en/), a hieroglyphic text editor which produces vector
graphics and can save them as EMF files.  These files work correctly in
Microsoft Word and Adobe Illustrator, as do the copied-and-pasted graphics; it
is only OO Writer which has this problem.

Please let me know if there is a way to fix this, or if I may provide you with
more information.

Thank you very much for your assistance.

If this is still an issue for you, alternatively you could try with the go-oo
builds. See http://rodo.foo.cz/blog/?p=29 and http://go-oo.org/discover/.
