Description Unknown 2003-06-10 16:47:47 UTC 
I will attach a document that I received from GE Capital leasing that does not
render well in OOo 1.1b2. For some reason, the spacing is off and it carries
over to a second page. In MS Word 2000 and 2002, it is a single page.
Interestingly, it also does not render well using the MS Word Viewer application
available free from Microsoft. It also carries over to two pages using that
viewer, just like it does in OOo. 

I checked the fonts and that doesn't seem to be an issue. Not sure what it is
but I hope that someone can use this doc to improve the ms word filter.
Documents like this one, distributed by GE Capital leasing, make it harder for
me to push OOo out into my organization. People get docs like this all the time
and when they format incorrectly it makes them ask for Microsoft.

Comment 3 michael.ruess 2003-09-12 14:33:03 UTC 
This is due to the fact, that MS Word and OO Writer use different
metrics for line and character spacings. OO uses printer metrics, MS
has its own. In OO 2.0 a compatibility mode will be used, so that Word
documents will look the same when opened in OO.
Checked it with internal build (CWS extleadind).

"Fix" should be integrated in first OO 2.0 preview.
Comment 5 michael.ruess 2004-03-25 16:23:21 UTC 
Checked OO 2.0 integration in 680m30.
