Description lduplant2000 2007-01-12 14:48:23 UTC 
I did a simple signature for Thunderbird in Writer and saved it in HTML file
format. When the file is viewed in Thunderbird, Firefox of Internet Explorer the
formatting is all wrong; caracters are smaller and line spacing larger (apporx
1.5 lines). I opened the Writer/html file in Front Page, corrected the
formatting and saved it again in html. Formatting is corrected.

The reported problem is concerning the viewing in OOo, indeed, in OOO  the test
document looks different from the view in all other browsers.
I checked with "2.2.0RC4  German version WIN XP: [680m14(Build9134)]" and
compared view with view in Seamonkey (and IE). I can confirm the differences
shown in  "Screen_Shot.odt". 

Character size must no be a real bug, because that is adjustable in the browser,
so that the size with what some text will be shown might differ from browser to
browser. But the completely different line spacing view in OOo (no extra
distance between line "Tel." and "Fax") really might cause problems if OOo will
be used as a HTML editor.

Hey, what's on with the NEW radio button here?
Comment 9 eric.savary 2007-05-04 15:13:01 UTC 
Well, this is an old known problem of compatibility or merged UI Writer <>
Writer Web <> HTML.
(Thus duplicate of issue 19690)

You probably formatted the 2 lines with the Default paragraph style whch has a
simple space between paragraphs in Writer (Same in Writer Web) but is exported
as a <p> tag which has a double space in all browsers...

Workaround: use a line break (Shift+Return = <br>) instead of a carriage return
(Return = <p>) between the paragraphs or format them as "Preformatted text" (=
<pre>).
