Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 116547
WW8: Character styles not imported in certain places
Last modified: 2017-05-20 11:22:13 UTC
I have a document with character style called Exempt set on text in places throughout the document. The document was created in MS Word 2000 and is being viewed in Writer. When viewed in Writer, in the majority of cases, the style is correctly shown and the document appears identically as it did in MS Word. However there are places in the document where the character style is not applied when it should be. We have seen this behaviour on OpenOffice 3.2.1 running on RedHat Linux 5.3 and also on OpenOffice 3.1.1 running on Windows XP SP3. I created an thread in the openoffice forum and got confirmation from another user that they could reproduce also on 3.3.0 RC 8 (http://www.oooforum.org/forum/viewtopic.phtml?t=114532) I have attached a document that exhibits this behaviour, along with screenshots of the sections of the document in Word 2000 and OpenOffice 3.1.1 where the behaviour can be seen.
Created attachment 75602 [details] Example document exhibiting incorrect behaviour plus screenshots of behaviour
MRU->HBRINKM: in the attached document on page three below the table. There is a list where the character style "Exempt" is not applied to the text after import - in WW it is.
