Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 11023
WW8: page background color not re-imported
Last modified: 2017-05-20 11:22:45 UTC
If I choose the WORD XP like a saving format the word processor dosen't save the backgroung immage on the page.
Please Attach the documents which make this problem, so we can test it. (Without the documents, we cannot confirm the problem easily) Don't forget to cut other part of the documents, so the file size is small, but we still able to see the problem.
This bug actually has appeared in OOo 1.1.0 build. I had been able to replicate that bug in the version OOo 1.1.0 build in Linux. I saved the document with the bacground image in Linux with OOo 1.1.0 build by using the document format for Word XP and opened the document by using Word 2003 in Windows XP. But the background is gone. I even tried to open the document with OpenOffice.org 1.1.0 in Linux and the background is also gone. I also tried to save the document with background image in the document format for Word 6.0 and Word 95. The same bug happens in those both formats. The bug also appears in OOo 2.0.1 build with Windows 2000 Professional. In addition, I tested to save the document with the background of any colour without image, e.g, document with the background of blue colour. I also tried different format of image, e.g., .jpeg and .gif, as the background for the documents. The same bug still happens. The background of colour, jpeg, gif would get lost when the document is saved by the document format of Word XP. This following is the steps I did in reproducing the bug (for OOo 1.1.0 build in Linux): 1. Open text document of OpenOffice.org 2. Go to "Menu" > "Format" > "Page" 3. Go to the tab "Background" 4. Choose any colour as the background (do not choose white or "no fill" because you will not see the difference when the document is opened by Microsoft Word) 5. Click OK 6. Go to "Menu" > "File" > "Save As" 7. Go to directory where you want to save the document 8. Click any file name that you want in the field "File Name" 9. Click on the box "File Type" and choose "Microsoft Word 97/2000/XP (.doc)" as the file type 10. Go to "Menu" > "File" > "Close" to close the file 11. There would be a pop-up warning asking, "Saving in external formats may have caused information loss. Do you still want to close?" Then, you click on "Yes" 12. Open the file again by going to "Menu" > "File" > "Open" 13. Go to directory where you saved the file and choose that file 14. Click on "Open" 15. The file will be opened and you will see that the background is gone I think this bug has been deferred by the developer. The warning telling some information might be lost if it is saved to external format has been given to the user.
In addition, the steps I just mentioned is actually for attaching background colour on the page.
Changing component per Fridrich's request.
Henning, one for you
I have no idea why I got this.
...should have gone to hbrinkm, referring to MBA's comment from Thu Aug 30 09:36:12 +0000 2007.
Made the summary more meaningful than "saving problems"... ;-) BTW, issue 74266 maybe a duplicate of this here.
Reset assigne to the default "issues@openoffice.apache.org".
