Description lunix98 2001-12-19 02:55:23 UTC 
OpenOffice641 (as well as SO5.2) makes minced meat out of .doc with embedded
drawings. Transferring the images (drawings) from MS word97 to Openoffice641
drawing and Then copy/paste the drawing into the 641 wordprocessor sheet works,
BUT the drawing are not scaled correcly.
perhaps an OLE issue?

this problem exists under Linux AND win98, win95

the gray shaded areas of the original .doc disappears in 641.

Reassigned to Michael.

MRU->CL: It looks like a problem with a graphic filter. After import
of the document you only recieve a white graphic.
Comment 5 clippka 2002-01-16 10:39:06 UTC 
there no ole shapes after the import, just two graphic shapes that both have a star view metafile assigned. The metafile seems to be invalid

Comment 7 sven.jacobi 2002-01-22 12:27:24 UTC 
It is a problem of the metafile import.
Comment 8 t8m 2002-09-27 21:48:00 UTC 
When I try the first attachment it even hangs the application with
100% CPU usage and memory hogging.

I see only big black rectangle in the document.

(OOo 1.0.1 Linux RH 7.3)
Comment 9 sven.jacobi 2002-12-06 13:02:03 UTC 
Up from version 643 the metafile display is correct. Now only a 
cropping problem is left. I will have to determine if the cropping 
problem is Word import dependent or if it is a general failure in our 
basic cropping mechanism.

Ok, this time its rh8.0 and  OpenOffice 1.0.1. 
The processor as the graph indicates is an AMD XP1800 w/ 512MB RAM
working very hard.
In MS Win2000 the Oo-writer  produces the same results with these kind
of files.
There is a "normal.dot" located inside the Dactron program. Would you
interested in loooking at it?

Version 644 on Solaris, conversion of .ppt file with embedded 
metafile objects results in very badly scaled graphics objects.
If I convert the objects to Word Drawing format in PowerPoint
they import correctly.

Comment 14 sven.jacobi 2003-06-16 10:15:16 UTC 
SJ: I changed the summary, because this is a cropping problem and not
a general ole import problem.

To come up to the latest attachment "c:\temp\crash.doc" I wrote Issue
15669.

@sj: could you please take this one back?
Comment 22 Roberto Salomon 2009-09-25 14:18:47 UTC 
This also happens on 3.1.1 in Linux (Ubuntu). WMF files are sometimes rendered
completely off. This odd behavior is kept when the file is converted to  odf.
