Description annonygmouse 2005-12-07 15:35:15 UTC
I'm using Openoffice2 from de Debian/GNU/Linux unstable repository.

The document named "47pages_1.doc" under the given URL
(http://sebastia.homelinux.net/~jo/varis/doc_opens_incorrectly/) OpenOffice2
opens it as 47 empty pages, but in reality it should be
ONE page with a header, some text (some of them coloured).

A friend of mine has tried to open it with MS-Word (can't remember the
version sorry) and he tells me it asks him if he allows a query to be
run when opening the document.

Finally he has been able to save it as "W98 Doc RTF" and OpenOffice
still opens it as a 47 empty pages!!! (47pages_2.doc)

The last "save as" he has done is to save as a pure RTF document and
when I open it with OpenOffice it shows 48 empty pages (48pages_3.doc).

I sent an email to the mailinglist openoffice-users and two people detected
the same behaviour.
They also hinted me that going to VIEW->Web Layout shows it correctlly.

Note: with the program "ted" http://www.nllgg.nl/Ted/ the RTF
transformed files open more or less correctly.

Regards
Sebastià.

Adding the file.

Note: Opening the DOC file in openoffice in print layout and saving to ODT file,
the created ODT file has the same behaviour as the DOC file (in print layout
shows 47 empty pages and in web layout is displayed correctly).

confirming.

The document is imported with invalid page-format. Correcting the page format
(esp. margin from top) solves the problem.

MRU->FLR: the page settings have been imported incorrectly; the page has a
height of 103 cm and a top margin of 99,99 cm. When correecting rthis manually,
the document looks good.
