Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 5323
No space after section numbers in doc imported from WinWord
Last modified: 2013-08-07 14:41:36 UTC
In a document imported from WinWord, I found that both in the table of contents and the body of the document, there was no space between the section number and the section title. In the original document, there was. This was the only rendering error I could find in the document, which otherwise transferred very well.
Thanks for posting Reuben. Could you please post the file that created the problem? If you open this issue 5323, there is a link "Create a new attachment" which will let you attach a file to this issue. Thanks. I tried creating a document with "Header 1" sections and some "body text" inside Word 2000. Then I created a TOC. I saved the file and opened it in OO. Everything rendered correctly. However, I doubt this is what Reuben is referring to.
Created attachment 2259 [details] Word 2000 file illustrating the problem
I've now added an attachment which shows the problem. It contains just a heading which in Word 2000 comes out as: 1. Introduction but in Office Writer as 1.Introduction I hope that makes it easier to see and track down.
Thanks for attaching the document Reuben. Duplicated issue on Win NT 4.0, OO 1.0. Here is how to create the problem document from scratch. 1. Create a new Word 2000 document. 2. Format | Bullets and Numbering | Outline Numbered 3. Choose the selection at the lower right hand corner.' ( I will include screenshot ) 4. Enter in some text. 5. Save the document. 6. Open up in OO 1.0 Notice how the space between the number and the text disappears. The part that bothers me is I cannot see how Word is spacing the number and the text.

ES->MRU: Word's well konown tabs? Please evaluate
Yep, Writer is not able to import this correctly. The distances are all set to 0 cm in Word, but an additional Tab-character is set to follow the number. Writer only offers fixed mesasures as distance between number and text, no characters.
This problem is covered by the PCD 20880. *** This issue has been marked as a duplicate of 20880 ***
Closed.
