Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 15330
Incorrect display of Word & Powerpoint file name in title bar
Last modified: 2003-06-16 15:41:36 UTC
Tested in both Writer and Impress but not a problem in Calc. When a Word 2000 or Word 97 file has been opened in Writer, the title bar doesn't display the correct file name. Instead Writer displays a random piece of text from the document as the file name. In Impress any opened Powerpoint 2000 or 97 file simply says no slide title instead. Aside from that keep up the excellent work!
That'a feature of OO: In case the file has a title in the document properties, this title is shown in the title bar instead of the physical file name. If there is no title, the physical file name is shown. MS Words tends to set the first words typed in the document as document title. That's "their" feature ;-) And - of course - this title is imported and taken as document title, thus shown in OO's title bar. NEQ (next expected question...:) Why doing it differently? Imagine a centralized pool of documents in a company, for some reason all files have to have "8.3" Names. The physical title "TEMPL_58.sxw" is less informative than a title like "Fax template for international incvoice". Not a defect. Set to "WontFix".
Closed.
