Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 92817
docx: conversion of "Comments" to notes2 and vice versa
Last modified: 2013-08-07 14:43:11 UTC
I've been following the progress of the build up to OpenOffice 3.0, but more particularly the notes2 software you are working on. I work with people in business who unfortunately are using M$ Office 2007 for their word processing needs. They use the "comments" feature in Office 2007, which can be found via the "Review" option in Word 2007. I was testing out the OpenOffice 3.0 beta 2 today, and found that, whilst it did successfully read the .docx format in terms the correct words from the body of the document were on the page, it did not deal at all well with the "comments" on the .docx document. In fact, it just put the text from the comment straight onto the page, as part of the body of the text. Is the intention for OOo 3.0 to have native support for M$ Office 2007 "Comments", and expect to be able to add comments, and then Office 2007 to read these successfully. If this is not yet implemented, is this a feature for the roadmap for OOo 3.1 and beyond? It did seem that the "Comments" feature is used a lot by users of the Office 2007 package.
ES->MRU: I think it's more a missing docx import feature then a notes bug. Please take over.
The docx is unfortunately not in final state. MRU->HBRINKM: keep this issue until the "import comments" / "export notes to docx" feature has been implemented into the docx filter.

The import has been started in writerfilter/source/dmapper/DomainMapper_Impl.hxx writerfilter/source/dmapper/DomainMapper_Impl.cxx writerfilter/source/dmapper/DomainMapper.cxx The annotation's TextRange property could not be accessed prior to insertion - or better not before a drawing model has been created. This is fixed in sw/source/core/field/textapi.cxx The remaining issue is the fact that text cannot be successfully written into the 'TextRange' property of the Annotation object after this object is inserted into the document. This seems to be caused by a missing synchronization of multiple EditEngine instances.
Now the import of the annotation text works. It works only if the anntotation is inserted into the document _after_ the text has been inserted. See issue 96800 ->hbrinkm: The elements w:author and w:date from the comments.xml are not resolved, yet.
Created issue 97631 for date and author. Setting this one fixed.
mod->os: just wondering, does only simple text work or rich-text as well?
->mod: It works with rich text.
