Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 17742
Page numbering inconsistency when opening HTML document
Last modified: 2003-09-11 18:41:07 UTC
I have Red Hat 9 and wanted to print out the smb.conf man page. I did: gzip -d < /usr/share/man/man5/smb.conf.5.gz | man2html > /home/<username>/smbconf.html I then opened smbconf.html in OOo and it said that it was 3 x A4 pages in length. When I scrolled through the document, it was divided into 3 very long pages. I tried saving it back as smbconf.sxw but it was the same. I then opened the same file (smbconf.html) in MS Word 97 and it was 164 pages in length. I added a header and footer and set the margins and saved it as smbconf.doc and it was 128 pages in length. I then opened the new file in OOo and saved it back as smbconf.sxw and it was also 128 pages in length. The fault is that OOo originally thought that it was just 3 pages in length. I will post the original smbconf.html file too.
Created attachment 8197 [details] The original smbconf.html file.
Created attachment 8198 [details] The original gzipped smbconf.html file.
Sorry. I forgot to mention that the OS is Windows 2000 SP3.
OD (01.08.2003): Proposed cause of the described defect: the HTML document contains a table with a very big cell. Such a table isn't correctly layouted in the online view of the writer - result: 3 pages in online view. In the print view also only three pages are shown, because the writer can not yet break such a table at the page end. This will be changed in the next version.
