Description haraldgrundner 2007-11-22 12:19:03 UTC 
If I write a text in German and use Umlauts and "ß", then at the moment all is ok.
But if I save the file and reopen it I am surprised about the change of the
Umlauts and "ß".

PS: I am not sure if the description has to be in English? I would like to do it
in German.
How can I send you the mentioned file in error?

Wrong component.
Comment 3 merschmann 2007-11-22 12:45:13 UTC 
Can not confirm with OOo 2.3.1RC1 WinXP.
@Harald: Does this also happen if you save to *.ODT ?

How to reproduce:
[see also attachment]
[e.g. OOo 2.3.1 [680m9(Build:9238)] / WinXP]

save as 'MS Word 95 (.doc)'
open *.doc in Writer
- there's no change 

add a word
save again (same format)
open in Writer
- ÄÖÜ and ß are changed

open in e.g. WordViewer2003
- ÄÖÜ and ß are *not* changed

How to avoid:
save as 'MS Word 97/200/XP (.doc)'

Comment 8 haraldgrundner 2007-11-25 16:45:07 UTC 
Thank you!
The saving as "MS Word 97/2000/XP" solves the problem with the umlauts etc., but
only for the moment.
If I save the textfile in "MS Word 97/2000/XP"-format I cannot stay compatible
to MS-Word95 and MS-Word 6.0.

Btw an analogue problem (in my opinion) happens if I include in my *.doc-file
(in MS-Word95 and MS-Word 6.0-format) a JPG file. After saving the file as a
MS-Word95-doc-file or MS-Word 6.0-file I cannot see the picture but only a free
field. 
Maybe this info could help to solve and fix the problem.
