Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 15414
Same font size but row for both Writer and MS Word are different
Last modified: 2003-10-16 11:13:57 UTC
I am new to this website but I am using OO for about a month. I have tested the compatibility of Openoffice Writer and Microsoft Word. 1. Open a new document MS Word. 2. Create a table say with Times New Roman with font size=12. 3. Count many rows are needed to fill up a page. 4. Similarly do the same with a new Text document but with OpenOffice Writer. 5. Create a table say with Times New Roman with font size=12. 6. Count many rows are needed to fill up a page. 7. The number of rows is not the same for both MS Word and OpenOffice Writer eventhough both document are using the same Times New Roman and font size=12. Anybody have any idea how to solve it. I think it is an issue. regards Brad Lee
The result printout shows that font size is quite same for both writer and MS word.But it may be the SPACING TO CONTENTS which may cause the different of row height.(Format>Table>Border>Spacing to contents>top and bottom spacings.) If you testing again without table but instead with just to see how many fonts size to fill a page. There is also a difference for both. Then it is the Format>Page>Border>spacing to contents instead of table. I can not find where is the equivalent of "spacing to contents" in MS Word. We still exchange files with outside which are largely MS Word users
There are similar issue by others like 15342 and 15356. I would like to make additional comments at their issue. How do I make additional comments at their issue?
Thank you for taking the time to verify OOo's MS Word compatibility. Does this problem still exist in the latest version of OOo? If so, please attach the document that reproduces this problem to this issue.
Added MS keyword
Please Attach the documents which make this problem, so we can test it/faster to confirm. (Without the documents, we cannot confirm the problem easily/need more time) Don't forget to cut other part of the documents, so the file size is small, but we still able to see the problem. 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
