Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 13899
opening a word file using tabulator with fill characters works or not depending on the position of the tabs stop
Last modified: 2013-08-07 14:41:36 UTC
1. I launch MS Word 2000 with a blank page 2. I enter Hello World 3. To create a line leader before the tab, i select within Word (Format > Tabulator) the correct fill character 4. I select the position of the tabs stop, save as a Word file and reopen within OO Writer. 2 Cases are possible : A. the tabs stop is after the "right margin" : the line desappears ! (see file tab_after.doc) B. the tabs stop is before the "right margin" : the line appears ! (see file tab_before.doc)
Created attachment 5929 [details] a word file with the working case
Created attachment 5930 [details] a word file with the working case
Created attachment 5931 [details] a word file with the bug case
The second attached file has a wrong description: consider the third attached file instead. (I could not delete the second attached file ?)

Please explain more about your problem, your information is not enough to investigate the problem. Please explain step by step.

If the problem still happend in 1.1 RC5 please report bac Thanks

MRU->CMC: The Tab character seems completely ignored by thi import, when it is outside the left page border. The other thing, that the Tab moves to the next line when it's entered manually, should be something for AMA/FME afterwards I think ;-) Rem: As mobouille pointed out, concentrate on the third attachment.
cmc->mru: Check in kilkennyfilterteam14. Import correctly there.
Should be duplicate of issue 11873
The tab is not ignored anymore (since CWS kilkennyfilterteam14; which means the not yet scheduled OO 2.0 release). What is different: OO does not want to copy the Word behaviour, which means, you only can see the tab (-leader) in the text, when the right paragraph/page margin is extended a bit.
Verified.
Fix good in OO 2.0 snapshot src680m13.
