Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 109880
Embedded CALC table object lost in imported .doc from OOo 3.1.1
Last modified: 2010-03-08 09:36:42 UTC
I use Writer to create my invoices. In Calc I make the calculations which I "copy & paste special" into the text. In this way I created a format too, so I don't have to leave the text-page at all. A small Calc-sheet is already embedded. This worked fine til I updated to 3.2, two days ago. The existing invoices will open in Writer, but the Calc-sheet is missing. Not hidden as far as I can see; it is just not there. Only the Writer-data emerge. As it is Inland Revenue and myself are very fond of my old invoices and also of the Calc data they carry. Note: I can create new invoices by the above manner, they function quite well in 3.2, so that does not seem the problem. Note: I reinstalled 3.1 and had no problem at all. Only that this version of 3.1 crashes sometimes with a VISTA "runtime error".
Created attachment 68189 [details] Calc is embedded, does not show though
Reproducible with "10027-C-EH.doc" "Ooo-Dev 3.3.0 multilingual version English UI WIN XP: [DEV300m73 (Build 9456)]"! Steps to reproduce: 1. Create WRITER document with 3.1. 2. Menu 'Insert -> Object -> Ole-Object -> Table - New' <ok> CALC object will be inserted 3. Fill all visible cells with letter "A" 4. Leave object 5. Save as sample.odt 6. Save as sample.doc (WORD 97/XP) 7. close 10. Open both documents with 3.1.1 as expected, you will see Object in navigator pane and document in both documents 11. Close documents without saving 20. Open both documents with 3.2 (or 3.3-dev) expected: you will see Object in navigator pane and document in both documents actual: only fisible in .odt, not in .doc. here isn't any hint concerning that object in the document. 21. Close documents without saving 31. Open .doc with MS WORD viewer: Table will be shown correctly Works fine if .doc document has been created with 3.3 No problem with Chart, Drawing and Formula objects. @pietparel: May be you would avoid such problems saving your documents in ODF format when you use OOo.
