Description agrael 2006-09-08 09:46:21 UTC 
Software: WinXP Pro SP2; OOo 2.0.3-2 Ru; M$ Office 2003 SP2

How to Reproduce:
Try to import any M$ Word document (*.doc) with difficult enough embedded 
Eqation 3 formulas into OOo Writer. Formula's look (image) will be in some or 
another way corrupted (stretched, non-latin symbols replaced with respective 
ANSI character from the second half of the code-table, etc.) and shifted in 
terms of line aligning (annoys when withing a text paragraph). The same is 
after exporting OOo document with formulas to *.doc and opening with M$ Word 
(some symbols like a "bar over" or "+" replaced with small box aka "unknown 
symbol" and shifted).

Workaround: activate a formula and then de-activate (click on the text nearby) 
without any changes.

Thoughts: the formula itself seems to be OK, but accompanying "image" gets 
corrupted when opened in the "competitive product" and vice versa.

Issue: no one expected to ask their correspondent (having M$ Office suit) to 
activate/deactivate every formula in the document before printing!!!

MRU->TL: see attached sample. The conversion option in Tools.Options.LoadSave.MS
for Formulas must be enabled. The objecthas wrong linebreas, thus the dimensions
are calculated wrongly. This might be because some of the symbols are wrongly
converted.
