Description naoyuki 2007-07-05 05:21:23 UTC 
How to reproduce:
1. open Writer
2. enter "WORD" and select it
3. chose Format->Asian Phonetic Guide
4. enter ruby text "word" for "WORD" and Apply
5. save it as "Microsoft Word 97/2000/XP" format
6. open it with MS Word

Word shows incorrect format for WORD with ruby text.

If you select those text and shows "Field code" with context menu, then it shows
"{.....(word);WORD)}. You can replace ";" with "," to show correct ruby format.

This is regression from OOo1.1.

This is reported by matuaki-san in Ja OOo community.
Comment 2 stefan.baltzer 2007-07-30 18:04:12 UTC 
SBA->MRU: This is a MS Word filter issue. Please proceed.
Note: Broken in OOo 2.0/SO8 final and OOo2.2.1/SO8U7 too.
In word, the field code for the given example reads
{EQ \* jc3 \* "Font:Thorndale" \* hps12 \o\al(\s\up 11(word);WORD)}
But should read
{EQ \* jc3 \* "Font:Thorndale" \* hps12 \o\al(\s\up 11(word)WORD)}
to display correctly (without the semicolon before "WORD").
Comment 3 stefan.baltzer 2007-07-30 18:05:17 UTC 
Reassinged to MRU.
Comment 4 michael.ruess 2007-07-31 11:48:33 UTC 
This cannot be fixed... Word 2000 uses a "comma" in its field code - Word 2003
uses the "semicolon" (which is exported by OOo Writer). So we decided to export
the field syntax of the "newer" Ms Word.

Closed.
Comment 6 naoyuki 2007-08-13 04:49:13 UTC 
This is from original reporter (matuaki-san) in Japanese community.

I tried this with Japanese version of Office2003 and 2007, but both fail to
display ruby correctly. Word2003 help regarding field-code says
"Switching character depends on locale. If decimal separator of the language
setting is '.', then the field separator is ',', and if decimal separator of the
setting is ',', then the field separator is ';'.
---
Japanese default decimal separator is '.' as same sa US, so the filed separator
should be ','. So figuring out decimal separator and use appropriate field
separoator by export fileter would be reasonable solution in this case. Ruby is
popular functionality in Japanese, so adjusting just Euro locale (using ',' as
decimal separator) is not appropriate.
Comment 7 michael.ruess 2007-08-13 09:53:20 UTC 
MRU->HBRINKM: please implement in the export filter for Rubies, that the
seperator should be locale-dependent. 
Though I currently do not understand why Word 2000 and 2003 behave differently
on the same locale setting...
