In attached document, in OOo Writer there is indentation of heading about 1,25 cm, but when you open it in MS Word there is no indentation (0 cm)
Created attachment 48098 [details] problem show
Created attachment 48099 [details] screenshot of document open in MS Word
Created attachment 48100 [details] screenshot of document open in OOo Writer
MRU->OD: see attached document, the heading style has a hanging indent of 1,25, but in the text it is hard formatted to 0 cm, which is not regarded by the import.
according to release status meeting -> 3.x
In Microsoft Windows xP Home Edition Version 2002 Service Pack 2, using OpenOffice 2.3.0 and Component Writer. I was able to reproduce the bug on my computer using MS Word with SP3, and the following the steps below: 1. Open a new document in OO Writer and write "Preface" (w/o quotes) on the first line 2. then write "Hello" (w/o quotes) on the second line 3. Now, highlight the string "Preface" and change its style to "Heading 1" from "Default" 4. Now, go to the first line before "Preface" press tab 5. Do a Save As and store the file as "Microsoft Word 97/2000/XP (.doc)" format 6. Close OOWriter and open the saved file in MSWord 7. You'll still see the same formatted document. Now, go to the first line and remove the first tab before "Preface" 8. Save the document 9. Now, open the document again in OO Writer, you'll still see the indented Preface string although you had removed the tab in MS Word I tested the same steps with Default style type (instead of Heading 1) but it did not generate this error.
A possible workaround would be removing the indentation in OO Writer simple by using the backspace ... the indentation will not appear in MS Word as well
defect cause: The heading's paragraph style is correctly assigned to the outline style (Menu Tools - Outline Numbering). But, this heading has explicitly set no numbering in Microsoft Word. This is not correctly reflected in OOo Writer. solution: This heading needs to be get set explicitly no numbering instead of leaving it in the numbering, but switching off its numbering label.
setting keyword "numbering"
Reset assigne to the default "issues@openoffice.apache.org".
