Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 12713
RTF import adds lots of rubbish at the begging of the document
Last modified: 2013-08-07 14:42:08 UTC
When opening attached .rtf file (made from attached .sxw document) lots of rubbish text (1Numbering Symbols;Bullets;Internet Link;Endnote Characters;Footnote anchor;RTF_Num 2 1;RTF_Num 2 2;RTF_Num 2 3;RTF_Num 2 4;RTF_Num 2 5;RTF_Num 2 6;RTF_Num 2 7;RTF_Num..., etc.) appeared at the begging of the document. This document was created with OOo, then saved as .doc and edited with MSWord, later that .doc was edited with OOo and saved as .sxw. These steps accomplished without problems. The .sxw was saved as .rtf. Opening this .rtf document with OOo 1.0.2 didn't cause such problem.
Created attachment 5272 [details] original .sxw file
Created attachment 5273 [details] RTF file which is opened with the rubish text at the bigining. Besides it has picture export problems
I con confirm this behaviour. I did the following: Opened both documents in 1.1 beta. RTF file displayed "garbage" at the top. did "Save As" of the original .sxw to RTF, (different file name) closed and reopened in 1.1 beta. File displayed same "garbage" at the top. Opened both files in 1.0.2 RTF was missing graphics, but no "garbage" at top. "Save As" to RTF from 1.0.2 (Different file name...). Closed and reopened. No "garbage, but still no grahics (just an empty frame wiht ALT text). Opened RTF file in 1.1 beta... Same result as previous. Conclusion: 1.1beta does not handle RTF in the same way as 1.0.x. Definitely a bug, suggest highest priority for fixing. I can't chane the status, someone else will need to do that. (Don't have the necessary priveliges:( )
Alex, I've set priority to 2, you think, that priority should be 1 ? Maybe you can vote for this bug ? Also what you think about missing graphics ? I should report another bug ? I found, that there are a bug #12485 about RTF export and images. Maybe I should only add comment to bug #12485 ?
MRUs area.
MRU->CMC: export the attached .sxw to RTF and reload -> looks like the Style names are imported as part of the body text...
Can and will fix for 1.1
Created attachment 6963 [details] the patch
fixed in sw017, broken because of fix for issue 4727. Both now work correctly.
reopen to reassign
NO rubbish on reload in sw017. issue 4727 has to work at the same time and does.
Confirmed the fix in CWS sw017.
Fix verfied with internal CWS. Will be available in OO 1.1.
Fixed in RC4.
