Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 33893
WW8: vertical text in drawings exported in horizontal direction
Last modified: 2013-08-07 14:44:35 UTC
1) I create a new Dokument (File -> new -> Etiketten -> Avery Zweckform 3689) 2) In "grafics mode" I enter text (text in textboxes) 3) I turn the textboxes 90 Degrees and copy the text on each etiquette 4) I save the file (by default in MS Word 97/2100/XP format) and close it When reopening the file the formatted textboxes are a) turned back 90 Degrees b) not in the former position anymore After that I rearrange the file so that it looks correct again. I save and close. When reopening the same effect again! But the textboxes are now placed differently then before but all turned again 90 degrees back and in the wrong position... I can send the files so that you can have a look (a PDF befor saving and with correct layout, Oodoc for the destroyed layout.
Created attachment 17571 [details] This is the document where the textboxes are not placeced correctly anymore after reopening
Created attachment 17572 [details] This is the file how it was befor saving, closing and reopening again
Of course not a P1 task. Lowered to P3.
Please attach the file in .sxw format, so that we can see what kind of objects (and how these) were used before exporting to .doc format. We have to see the way, how it goes wrong. Thanks a lot!
Created attachment 17884 [details] This ist the same in sxw format (the formatting is preserved when reopening)
Created attachment 17885 [details] The same problem ! I save the sxw in word, reopen the word file and the positioning is corrupt...
I can confirm that problem with 1.1.4 (German) WIN XP: [645m52(Build8824)] and with 2.0 (1.9.m79) English version WIN XP: [680m79(Build8876)] You can reproduce that very simply: 1. Open new text document 2. make visible Drawing-Toolbar with 'Menu: View - Toolbar - Drawing' 3. Click "Text" 4. Mark some text field on the sheet and enter some Text like "This is a horizontal Text" 5. Mouseclick on the sheet somewhere outside the text 6. Click on the textfile with rightclick 7. Click Context menu "Position and Size", Card "Rotation" 9. Click Angle "90° / <OK> 10. Save document as OOo Document 11. Save Document as WORD2000 Document 12. Close 13. Open WORD2000 Document with OOo Expected: looks normal with 90° turned text Actual: as expected 14. Open WORD2000 Document with WORD2000 Expected: looks normal with 90° turned text Actual: Text field is in correct position and size, but text in it is not turned 90°, but still horizonatal, and so, it is destroyed. This is not really an OOo problem, but OOo has a feature which is not supported by WORD. If you try to save the file as "WORD- .doc!", there is a warning "This document might contain ... not supported by ...", and that is enough. So I think this is not a defekt, but a feature-issue "Convert turned text in writer documents to bitmap when export to doc" or something similar. Rainer
Changed summary for feature: might be helpful to convert drawing mode text fields to image or something else when saving as WORD file to avoid problems with non horizontal texts (see my comments Sat May 14 07:06:57 -0700 2005) I can only see very low priority for that issue. Rainer
Related to issue 25140 or issue 49207 ?
MRU->FLR: it looks, that some of the vertical text objects are exported wrongly, other are even not exported.

Made summary more significant, changed to correct owner and adjusted the target.

Created attachment 45505 [details] MRU->OD: also see this short sample
fme->sj: The drawing objects are rotated correctly, however the text inside the objects remains horizontal. Please have a look.
retargeted to OOo 2.x
following release status meeting -> target 3.x
there are quite some related issues with vertical / rotated text.
