Open Word 2003 document problem in Writer beta 2.0
Last modified: 2013-08-07 14:42:16 UTC
I'm a new user. I just installed the beta 2.0 (actually 1.9.79) version. Everything in Writer worked fine until I tried to open a file I had from Microdost Word 2003. Does Writer open Word 2003 docs? I see when saving as Word doc, the newest version to save as is Word 97/xp. Should I try to import instead of open? FYI - The doc I tried is large and has graphics.
Created attachment 23754 [details] Word 2003 doc - can't open this in beta Writer2.0
Confirmed. Using OOo 1.9.84 on Win 2000 SP4, opening the attached document caused OOo to crash. Changing component to Word Processor.
Just FYI.. the attached document opened, edited, and printed with no problems in Word 2000 (9.0.4402 SR-1).
opens fine, but renders incorrectly with m89 on Linux, really seems to be Windows only issue P1 -> P2
Reassign issue to owner of selected subcomponent
MRU->OD: opening the file results in a loop. It contains many graphics positioned in tables. But it also looks, that it can only be resolved with the "table in table" implementation for Word import from issue 25680. Please have a look.
fix in progress in cws swqbugfixes30
fixed in cws swqbugfixes30 - changed file: /sw/source/core/layout/tabfrm.cxx, 1.76.16.2 solution avoids the layout loop by suppressing the format of the lower frames of a table, if the table doesn't fit on the page and isn't allowed to split any more. But the layout still doesn't correspond to the one in Microsoft Word, because the import of table-in-table still moves the inner table into a frame, which can not break at a page end. This will be solved - as mentioned above - this issue 25680.
OD->MRU: Checked in internal installation set of cws swqbugfixes30 - please verify. re-open issue and reassign to mru@openoffice.org
