Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 2584
embedded wmf metafile is not cropped correct
Last modified: 2013-08-07 14:38:26 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
Created attachment 837 [details] a zipped .doc with embedded graphs
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.
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
Created attachment 967 [details] metafile extraction of the original document
It is a problem of the metafile import.
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)
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.

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.
*** Issue 5023 has been marked as a duplicate of this issue. ***
.
"According to the OpenOffice.org roadmap (http://tools.openoffice.org/releases) this issue was retargeted to OOo Later."
Hi Thorsten, can you please takeover this Issue.
Will take over.
remove from crash
@sj: could you please take this one back?
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. I am attaching a file with the problem
