Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 34863
Export to Word97 replaces calculations in a table with the current field value
Last modified: 2013-02-07 22:43:32 UTC
Problem: We have at table with calculations e.g. sum in writer and we save it in MS word 97 format, the calculation turns into text.
Created attachment 18045 [details] Wríter format = calculation ok
Created attachment 18046 [details] Doc format=calculation turns into text.
Problem is, that MS Word's tables do not support calculations in table like Writer does. MS Word only offers this via the "Formula" field command. Implementing a workaround via Word's field when exporting would be the only way to get a dynamic result.
There is technical difference, yes, but the end user might regard it is as lack of compatibility with Word97 in OpenOffice.org. Could you please estimate the cost of a fix in time/money in order for companies to invest in a fix for OOo 2.0.
