in the attached document there is a ms excel pie chart as an ole object in page 1. this chart looks quite distorted and unreadable. but in page 2 there also is ole object, this time it is msexcel column chart - and that one is ok.
Created attachment 12031 [details] document with ole object that looks distorted

Hi, I checked with WORD2000 and 1.1.0 German version WIN98SE: 645m19(Build8693) and can confirm all reported effects. WORD2000: I find 2 charts in the document under headers "VSAA klientu kopējā amierinātība, %" (pie chart) and "Klientu apmierinātības galvenie rādītāji" (column chart). When I opened with OOo, I also see 2 charts - what is a good result, see issue 21956 ;-) - but the pie chart looks bad. You can compare in attached "screenshots.sxd". Might be interesting: when I tried to copy the chart by <ctnrl-c> - <cntrl-v> from the '.doc' to a OOo DRAW document, it looked similar like it looks if you open the '.doc' with OOo WRITER, but the caption is visible! When I copied the chart by <cntrl-c> - <cntrl-v> from the '.doc' to a MICROSOFT WORKS4.5a document, it looked ok. I believe component "WRITER" is not good, because I also saw the problem in DRAW. Any better Idea? I suggest TM 2.0. Questions: - really all platforms? - really all OS? - better component? CU Rainer
Same effect with all checkboxes activated and all checkboxes deactivated in Menu: extras / options / load.save / MS OFIICE Rainer

Hi richlv, do you have this problem with all pie charts you create or only with this one? General hint: When I doubleclick into the charts, I get an error message in OOo and also in WORD2000, I believe because of missing EXCEL. Relevant for this issue? Rainer
this file was provided by a user and that was the only chart at all that was used in those documents. but when i created some charts and tested it turned out that mostly problems are caused by gradient fill. as you can see in charttest.doc, charts that have solid fills are ok, ones that have gradient - quite distorted. still, first one (in klientuapmierinatiba_2001.doc) is much more damaged and it could be the chart itself - mswordxp slows down when viewing that document - but it still displays that chart fine. so the keywords could be - gradient fill :)
Created attachment 12344 [details] different charts, including ones with gradient fill
It seems your suspect concening "gradient fill" meets the point. Rainer
MRU->SJ: seems to be a problem of the graphic filter. The object itself is imported correctly; it's view si wrong.
*** Issue 23719 has been marked as a duplicate of this issue. ***
SJ->THB: This seems to be a metafile import bug, many thanks for taking over this issue.
Will have a look.
retargeted to OOo 2.0.1 after QA approval from SB
in m87 legend looks better (it still has those diagonal lines though), chart itself still has the same problems
Retargeted, due to resource constraints.
This problem still occurs in OOO310m11.
Reset to default bug assignee.
