Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 85599
RTF: paragraph indent lost when exporting
Last modified: 2017-05-20 11:18:02 UTC
If I have two or more consecutive paragraphs indented, after saving in .rtf format only the first paragraph is still indented. example files: http://personal.inet.fi/koti/tlehto/rtf-testi9.rtf http://personal.inet.fi/koti/tlehto/rtf-testi9.odt What I did was: 1) Open a new document, typed 5 lines on text, 2) Selected all of them, pressed "Increase Indent" once, the selected lines 4 and 5 and pressed "Increase Indent" again. 3) Saved in it .rtf format (first link above). 4) Saved again in .odt (second link) When opened, the odt file opens correctly, but when I open the rtf file, it looks like this: http://personal.inet.fi/koti/tlehto/rtf-testi9.png And, when I open the .odt file, re-save it as rtf, close the file, open again, it looks like picture above. Works like this in at least versions 2.3.0 and 2.3.1.
Create five indented paragraphs as described, export to RTF and reopen -> only the first and the fourth paragraph are indented anymore.

This issue is becoming a dealbreaker for me with OO Writer. I regularly need to create and submit .rtf files, including outlines with indentation, and this program is not a reliable resource for that. I can't believe this has been unresolved for over 2 years! I have never had a defect open that long on my list, especially one that should be relatively easy to track down. Please fix this awful defect in an otherwise lovely product. I really hate opening a virtual machine to run Word (blech!) under Windows (double-blech!).

I cannot reproduce this with ooo320-m19.
Bug still exists in 3.3.0 build 9567. CAUSE: Writer inserts RTF control worlds "\pard\plain" before each paragraph: \pard\plain \qj \fi705 Some indented text... \par \pard\plain Inherited formatting \par MUST BE: \pard\plain \qj \fi705 Some indented text... \par Inherited formatting \par
