Description tetrode 2004-05-13 11:39:11 UTC 
When importing certain MS Word documents from within my organisation, the
document is screwed up, see some screenshots at
http://www.geocities.com/mtetrode/msword.jpg and
http://www.geocities.com/mtetrode/ooo111.jpg

In my opinion it has to do with kerning (because when I turn it off, it displays
correctly), and possibly with the custom font we use (Syntax), because I have
never experienced it with the standard fonts Arial, Times, etc.

I have had this with 1.1.0, and recently I upgraded to 1.1.1, and also there the
issue is present. 

The document is available on request.

It really is a kerning problem - I attached a document. I'm sorry that I had to
replace all the words in the documents with nonsense words, but these are
internal documents not intended to leave the company. When opening it with
MSWord 2002 SP2 all is OK, when opening it with OpenOffice 1.1.1 the header
styles are wrong. When you select some text and toggle the kerning on or off,
OpenOffice seems to rectify itself, and displays the text as it should.
Comment 6 michael.ruess 2004-05-14 14:32:58 UTC 
MRU->BH: MS Word has the capability to switch on Font Kerning from a selected
FOntsize on. See attached document and open in MS Word. In the font dialog you
can see, that there you have Font Kerning from 16pt font height on.
This has to be implemented in OO for compatibility.

To grep the issues easier via "requirements" I put the issues currently lying on
my owner to the owner "requirements".
