Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 63023
Opening MS Office 2003 RTF-document with Text Boxes
Last modified: 2006-03-13 08:58:43 UTC
When I opened an MS Office 2003 word document that contained text boxes with text in them. OOo 2.0.2-Writer imported the text boxes as empty boxes. The boxes were in the correct location, but did not include the text from MSOffice2003.
I incorrectly stated that Text Boxes did not import correctly. Rather, Drawing objects with text inside of them are what do not import. The drawing object itself imports but no text.
Created attachment 34734 [details] Sample MS Word document W/ drawing object and text
I see the reported effect, but I can't reproduce that, because I do not have WORD 2003. After I opened document 'Sample.doc' with WORD2000 and saved it again, text was visible with OOo 2.0.2. The sample document is NOT a real WORD-document, but a .RTF. Related to issue 3790?
Yeah, it is a duplicate of issue 3790. The textboxes are drawing shapes, which are not upported by OO's RTF filter. Currently, OO 2.0.2 has some basic support for very little parts of the Shapes, but no full support at all. This will be implemented with issue 3790. *** This issue has been marked as a duplicate of 3790 ***
Closing duplicate.
