OpenOffice-have MS Compatibility problem with Symbol open the file, and you will find that the ending of the line is not same, some of them only less than 3 character different, but one of them is very different. look attached file
Created attachment 10428 [details] Word file with symbol problem
add ms_interoperability, oooqa keyword
please provide screenshots that compare the display of the same document viewed in OOo and in Word. I cannot tell from your description and from the description given in the document where the problem is.
Created attachment 10466 [details] screenshot in word XP
Created attachment 10467 [details] screenshot in OOO, and mark where it the different

Has nothing to do with the symbols but that OOo breaks words with a different algorithm than word does. I tend to resolve this worksforme. Just put a few spaces between the symbols and you're done. It is very unlikely to use so many symbols in a row in a real life-document. see also issue 17155 but more probably a duplicate of issue 19716 (which you, utomo, confirmed btw...) Updating the summary accordingly (original summary: "OpenOffice-MS Compatibility problem with Symbol"
Issue regarding Break-Iterator. Assigned to SBA.
SBA: Christian is right. Priority changed from P3 to P4 as this is not really a critical problem for an average user. Different line breaks in a "useless" row of symbols without spaces is an issue that comes up only when testing. SBA->FME: I opended the file with the CWS i18n08 (the CWS introducing ICU 2.6 and solving the "Line break after slash" issue 17155) but the results are the same. I think that issue 19716 "Wrong line break at special characters", at time s assigned to Karl) could be connected with this one. Reassigned to Frank.
FME->Karl: Looks like yours.
We are using ICU line break rule, which is suggested by Unicode. I have already made some changes, will make some more changes for the symbols in question.
fixed in cws i18n09.
There is a little differenc between window and unix version, breakiterator breaks line after double exclamation marks. I have fixed most common punctuations, make them similar to MS office, but for some weird ones, like double exclamation marks, I think MS may just ignore them, breaking the line after double exclamation marks may not be wrong. So I will leave those weird ones as they are, unless someone has different opinion.
SBA: Set to fixed.
SBA: Verified in CWS i18n09.
SBA: OK in build 680_m39. Closed.
