Description realitycheck 2003-06-17 17:45:51 UTC 
Paragraph markers (carriage return line feed) do not seem to be 
imported/interpreted correctly from an Acces MDB memo-type field into an OO 
datasource field.

I set up an Access MDB file as an OO datasource.  I insert a memo-type data 
field from the Access MDB file into an OO document.

If the Access MDB memo-type field contains multiple lines (i.e. multiple 
paragraphs ... multiple carriage return line feed), then the OO datasource 
field displays those with a printable "square" to the left of each paragraph 
marker.

Is this a bug? ... or is this a "carriage return line feed" vs. "line feed" 
issue?

Are there any settings or options that can be used to help OO to 
import/insert/interpret these paragraph markers correctly?

Thanks.

Comment 6 jack.warchold 2004-02-16 10:06:16 UTC 
confirmed with OOo1.1.0, OOo1.1.1b and 680m23

this bug occurs with an access database file that is unicode encoded
the file will be attached

the user tested this file with the character settings UNicode UTF-8 and UTF-7 in our 
Data sources dialog but this does not fix the error

i just tested it with the ADO Option with the specific file (where a character set is 
not available ) and can confirm that you will see a square if you insert the 
MailingAdressBlock of the database file for example a mailmerge

the data in the file is encoded like in the following example

0x00 0x4A 0x00 0x69 0x00 0x6D for
           J              I                m

and 0x00 0x0A 0x00 0x0D 
                 CR            LF

hope it works *G*

Hi Oliver,

seems to be a writer problem. The user tries to insert a memo field into a
writer document.

Best regards,

Ocke

Writer fields do not support line breaks and paragraph breaks.
