Please compare two attached screenshots - one is made with OO, the other with Word. Note the difference in quality - percieved quality of pictures in Writer is lower. I am also attaching the document itself.
Created attachment 44659 [details] Pictures in Writer
Created attachment 44660 [details] The same file in Word
Created attachment 44661 [details] Problematic WW8 file
Confirmed with OOo 2.0.4, WinXP PC. Images are of low quality due to apparent lack of anti-aliasing / down sampling of the greyscale preview image.
MRU->SJ: I do not know if this is an import or a view problem. The lines in the graphics are interrupted and some parts are missing. Please have a look.
Any chance for 2.4?
sj->thb: Can you please take over this issue.
following release status meeting -> target 3.x
@sj: please take this issue back.
You may want to change the component. The same problem occurs for example in Impress. Resizing the image in a graphics program such as Paint.NET (that is, doing the anti-aliasing in a program other than OOo), then importing the smaller image into OOo alleviates the problem somewhat. Let me know if you need more attachments demonstrating the problem. We are using OOo 2.4.0.
Any chance for 3.2?
