Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 124106
docx files created in Pages 5 are wrongly imported by AOO
Last modified: 2014-03-02 22:04:32 UTC
Documents created in Apple's Pages 5 and exported as .docx crash AOO 4.0.1. Files exported as .doc open. Same problem occurs in LibreOffice. I've attached a sample file
Created attachment 82388 [details] docx file created with Pages 5
Created attachment 82392 [details] Word 2010 vs. Writer AOO410m1(Build:9750) - Rev. 1560574 Rev.1560574 Win 7
Crash with AOO410m1(Build:9750) - Rev. 1557669 2014-01-14_04:11:13 - Rev. 1557927 Debian
The crash was solved by Oliver for https://issues.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=124058 So the current trunk does not crash any longer after revision 1559791 and this explains the two different reports by Edwin. However, the import quality is really, really bad. Edwin's screenshot says it all and I see the same problem in the (much more complex) file from https://issues.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=124058 124058 : text aligned to the right, one line per page, "double strikethrough" effect on all text. This should be improved for the import to be usable.

fixed on trunk Fix is a candidate for next release (4.1.0).

Thank you Oliver, the import quality is much better now.
