Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 9831
Only one character per line, document can no longer be recognised
Last modified: 2013-08-07 14:38:26 UTC
After working on a new document for a why, either after a save, print preview or on re-opening the document the text is displayed one or two characters per line. It prints either as is seen or a blank page. If the document is saved as a MS word format it can be read properly in ms word but neither the original OOo file or the saved MS word file can be read properly in OOo. If I try to open the OOo file in Mandrake 9.0 OOo 1.0.1 it fails to open, the icon moves for about 10 seconds then disappears, after which problems occur with Linux and , for instance, the mandrake documentation stop working giving me errors. I have to restart the machine to correct (login out then in fails to correct it).
Simon, thank you for using and supporting OOo. Please attach the file that reproduces this problem. If possible list step by step instructions on how to create this problem from scratch.

Problems saving in OOo format -> ES
As PM said: we need a sample document (eventually also a screen shot of what you see in the print prview), a step by ste description of what you do and an isolation of the problem (it seems that you 2 different problem: print on Windows, open on Linux.) Please reassign to me when you can provide this information.

Created attachment 6170 [details] Files and screen shots of the problem
The attached file contains 1. open off with drawing.sxw - Original file created in OOo 2. Word from OOo with drawing.doc - Original file saved as MS-word 3. OOo what I get.jpg - when I open either file I get this formatting 4. word - what I should have - If I open the .doc file in word I get the formating that I originally set up in OOo as I intended it to be. This problem seems to always occur independant of what application that I create the documnet in OOo has this problem at some stage while using the program which is unrecoverable as far as I can see. The only way to recover the file is to save as a MS-word file and view in MS-word.
Please try using the latest OOo 1.1 Rc5, Your version already old enough, and many bug fixes since your version and 1.1 RC5. If the problem still happend in 1.1 RC5 please report back
Please try using the latest OpenOffice 1.1 Final , you can download it from www.openoffice.org many bug fixes and enhancements since your version and 1.1 Final . If the problem still happend in 1.1 please report back
I can Reproduce the problem on OpenOffice 1.1 (default Install, US), Win XP Pro Sp1. (And MS Office XP Sp2). It is real problem to reproduce, open the sxw in OOo, save in MS Word format, open in MS word. the OLE drawing is gone
Reassign issue to owner of selected subcomponent
HI->ES: You're already involved with this.
Ok, what is the problem exactly? Printing? caa't be printed? Looks different? OLE? Looks different in Word/OOo? Disappears? Load the document? in Word? In OOo on Windows or on Linux? Is there a crash or the file does not open? I can't reproduce any of those problems... Looking at the screen shots, it looks as if the import only shows one letter per line. But this I can't reproduce either.
