Regression: Wrong page wrap from Word import
Last modified: 2017-05-20 11:25:46 UTC
Already posted as issue 42679 against build 680m77, wrongly set to "fixed"! PLEASE, would someone at least care to look into it, before setting it to fixed ?! Document created with MS Word 2000. MS Word shows two pages. OO 1.1.4 shows two pages OO 1.9.79 (as OO 1.9.79) shows three pages. Empty page two inserted (only footers visible).
Created attachment 22833 [details] OO 1.9.79 inserts empty second page. OO 1.1.4 is ok. (application/msword)
Confirmed/duplicated problem on my installation of 680m79. The document looks fine in Word 2003. Windows XP Pro SP2, hotfixes to 2/05 Java JRE 1.4.2_06
OK, we have to find out, what's the diffenrence on our systems. I also use WinXP and 680m77, m79 and (not released) m80 show correctly two pages on my machine. I played around a little bit with the document and found out, that som Word6-compatibility flags are set. E.g. "Use printer metrics for layout" is checked in Word, which means that OO's import will also set "use printer metrics..." in Tools.Options.Text document.Compatibility. Question is: on your system, does Word also show two pages when using the same printer for the docuemt? Or does the document still show three pages when you disable the mentioned compatibility flag in OO Writer?
OO 1.9.79 with "Use printer metrics for layout" set - 3 pages - WRONG OO 1.9.79 without "Use printer metrics for layout" set - 2 pages OO 1.1.4 with "Use printer metrics for layout" set - 2 pages OO 1.1.4 without "Use printer metrics for layout" set - 2 pages OO 1.9.79 default after fresh install: "Use printer metrics for layout" set OO 1.1.4 default after fresh install: "Use printer metrics for layout" NOT set "Question is: on your system, does Word also show two pages when using the same printer for the docuemt?" Sorry, I don't get it - what do you mean with "the same printer"? All applications (OO 1.9.79, OO 1.1.4 and MS Word 2000) are installed on the same system with the same user account using the same printer (HP LaserJet 5L). What do you want me precisely to test?
With this, I meant, does the document still show 3 pages, when you set a different printer for the document in "File.Printer Settings". But if you only have one printer installed, my question should be dispensable.
We know found out, where the problem is. On the first page, the last paragraph (with the underline) gets erroneously imported. In MS Word, it is an empty paragraph where only a page break resides. Ms Word seems to ignore such paragraphs while formatting. As long as this paragraph is empty, Word leaves it on first page. As soon as there will be text entered in this paragraph, Word moves it onto the next page with displaying paragraph attributes for this. MRU->FLR: The filter's behaviour in OO1 was a bit better here. The empty paragraph (only containing a page break) was ignored when importing. Because of the brehaviour in OO2 the document may look differently on some printers.
Changed target.
