Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 17547
Word-import: line numbering "Restart every new page" instead of "continuous"
Last modified: 2013-08-07 14:41:36 UTC
This is new as of 1.1rc (did not happen in 1.0.3). If I load a Word (XP version) .doc file with line numbering on, it restarts it at every page (even though I had it not doing this--as in no "Restart every new page" checkbox checked, and the appropriate behavior in 1.0.3). If I save and reload (staying entirely in Word XP file format), it is broken on load. If necessary, I can produce files with this behavior. I guess you take some bad with the good...I'm very pleased that, after syncing using Docs To Go for Palm, and opening in OpenOffice 1.1rc2, that the margins now do not get reset.
Created attachment 8137 [details] Continuous line numbered Word XP doc
Attached Word XP .doc reproduces this issue in OOo 1.1 rc2. Line numbering on page 2 should continue at 16 not restart at 1.
Just open the line numbering dialog and disable the check box for "Restart every new Page" I'll check the cause for the different setting between 1.0.3 and RC.
.
I don't understand why this got closed. It may be a nit, in that you can just reset it from the menu, but the setting is not getting preserved any longer like it did in 1.0.3 and below, so it seems like it's still a bug. I hope I'm not out of line by reopening this (apologies if I am).
HI->TG2K: In fact, OO 1.1 doesn't forget the line numbering. In this case, we have no defect. The Menu setting is another story and have to write down as a new issue to avoid confusion. You do not need to open a new one. I'll do it internal. Thanks for your attention.
Your indication that there was no bug confused me. I retried in 1.1rc3 and it is still present (at least for me, in Windows XP). I have submitted a new attachment that demonstrates this problem. Just in case it isn't completely clear, here is what I'm seeing: The .doc file contains lots of identical paragraphs. Line numbering is turned on. At the point when I saved the .doc file, the option Tools->Line Numbering->Show Numbering is checked. Count Blank Lines is also checked. Restart every new page is NOT checked. However, when you load the file, Restart every new page is checked. The setting is somehow lost between the save and reload. I created this file as a new file using OpenOffice 1.1.0 rc3, so it should be as "blank" as is possible aside from the text in it. I hope that, with this attachment, you are able to repeat the problem I have.
HI->MRU: As I know you are familiar with the rules about numbering.
MRU->HI: It is nothing of the numbering rules here. The problem is, that the import should set the correct option. MRU->CMC: the line numbering should be imported continuous in this case.
Indeed. Fixed in kilkennyfilterteam14 for 2.0
reopen to reassign
cmc->mru: Ok in kilkennyfilterteam14 for 2.0
Checked fix with CWS kilkennyfilterteam14.
Verified. Fix will be included in OO 2.0.
checked with src680m19 ==> ok
