Created attachment 84160 [details] odt file containing the problem file : Form to be filled in (already filled) When I try to "Save As " for document in attach , OpenOffice CRASHES and does not save anything except for save as .txt and Export as PDF (openoffice format also working) When saving in .txt , all fields are empty
Comment on attachment 84160 [details] odt file containing the problem file : Form to be filled in (already filled) I see nothing on what is the prtoblem so again : The problem is : file can only be saved in witer or pdf format Try to save in DOC format cause crsh of openoffice Saving in TXT format = fields are all empty And DOC format is needed
My debug-build gives on save as ".doc" the error messages: Error: Looks like this doc is broken...; where is the Fieldmark for the FIELDSTART?? From File c:/AOO_debugbuild_420/trunk/main/sw/source/filter/ww8/wrtw8nds.cxx at Line 1926 Error: Assertion failed ================== FILE : c:/AOO_debugbuild_420/trunk/main/sw/source/filter/ww8/wrtw8nds.cxx at line 137 ERROR : "where is my fieldmark???" From File c:/AOO_debugbuild_420/trunk/main/sw/source/core/except/errhdl.cxx at Line 80 @id027102: Does a version of that document exists, which has not crashed on save as ".doc" in an older OpenOffice version?
Created attachment 84163 [details] empty doc file from club (never filled)
new attachment : file from club never filled Fill in some fields , save it as odt,doc,txt,pdf.... Only odt and pdf saved files are correct Try and see
Created attachment 84164 [details] Sample form document This is related to your document. With the attached document, I don't reproduce. I can save it as .doc without crash. Also, try to simplify your form to isolate the problem.
Ok for now, but : 1. First time filling form and save is ok 2. Again load ,modify some value and save once in odt and once in doc format 3. Reload and what happens : a. odt file has the modified values in fields b. doc file has ORIGINAL values in fields 4. If saved in txt format : fields are empty Maybe it must be a new report, I don't know Thanks
No solved : documents has ALL FIELDS EMPTY when saved in .DOC format or other format, only open office native format save OK. Try it yourself , take the .DOC file, modify it and save it in DOC format and see.
For me, must be merged with issue 65951 In spite of common misconceptions, OpenOffice is not an MS-Office clone. The MS formats are proprietary and the AOO import/export filters for these have been arrived at by trial and error, so there may be (read: frequently is) some formatting loss, which is why you are warned on selecting a Save format that is nor ODF. As you wrote, documents saved in AOO's native formats play well in AOO.
According to my comment 8 *** This issue has been marked as a duplicate of issue 65951 ***
