Description jwork123nl 2003-08-18 11:16:26 UTC
I attached a small word (97) document that shows the problem
(It also shows vertical text not preserved after import,
which is already reported in another bug report).

I investigated a bit, and it seems that OpenOffice 1.1RC3 just
does not support as many line styles as MS word 97.
The result is that even very simple, commonly used linestyles
(e.g., dashed) are shown in OO as simple lines.

Therefore I marked this issue as a feature request. It seems that
first the different line styles should be implemented in OO, and then 
the import filter can be enhanced to use them (not map everything
on the current limited supported set). 

I feel it are features like this that really make the user
comfortable using OpenOffice. Not only for compatibility,
I just want to be able to use dashed, dot-dashed, etc lines!

If you want I can update this test document to include all linestyles
and also all other characteristics of tables that I can find.
Like this you can use it to test the future enhanced table importer.
Just tell me if this would be useful.

BTW great job om OO1.1!
And I really like how well you handle and comment bug reports.

Best,

John van Spaandonk
