Description Unknown 2003-10-11 02:14:44 UTC 
I just thought I'd see how OpenOffice was doing, and while it's looking pretty 
darn good, my little test hasn't been entirely successful. I used it to import 
my CV from M$ Word and export it again, and while it looked great in 
OpenOffice, what came back out in Word .doc format is broken. Specifically, my 
header 1, header 2 and body styles appear with the correct indent, but the 
header 3 and header 4 indents are wrong. More oddly, inspecting the style 
definition shows the amount of indent to be numerically correct, though in the 
summary display for the style there are oodles of extra options apparently 
there that I didn't choose and may be affecting things. I'll attach my 
original .doc, my .sxw and my new .doc as well as screenshots.

I'm using Microsoft Office XP Professional on Windows XP Professional. I wish 
I could dump MS. I do run Linux but not on the desktop, yet, so keep up the 
good work guys!

Shorter version of the original .doc
Comment 5 michael.ruess 2003-10-14 11:50:51 UTC 
MRU->CMC: I've attached a much shorter version of the .doc, which
shows the problem. It is imported properly, but the export adds an
outline numbering which isn't needed here. Thus, the numbered
paragraphs in Heading 2 -4 recieve an additional tab for indentation.
Comment 6 michael.ruess 2003-10-14 11:52:21 UTC 
small addendum: re-import in Writer looks fine; exported version only
has wrong indents when opened in Word.
Comment 7 caolanm 2003-10-14 12:47:01 UTC 
Its the tabs, there is numbering of "nothing" from from word and
writers perspective, which is different from no numbering. In such
cases the tab seperator for the numbering should not be set. Fixed for
2.0 in kilkennyfilterteam14

reopen to reassign
Comment 9 caolanm 2003-10-17 16:25:59 UTC

Comment 10 michael.ruess 2003-10-20 11:49:45 UTC 
Yeah, I see. Good fix in CWS kilkennyfilterteam14.
Comment 11 michael.ruess 2003-10-20 12:10:18 UTC
