Tested on m233, windows XP. In the following test document: http://www.openoffice.org/nonav/issues/showattachment.cgi/48891/Test_champ_date.doc The date fields are imported as chinese... Check the screenshots: http://www.openoffice.org/nonav/issues/showattachment.cgi/48892/word_chinese.png http://www.openoffice.org/nonav/issues/showattachment.cgi/48893/OOo_chinese.png The test documnte was created with Ms Office 97. This may be related to issue 36594 and issue 29646.
MRU->HBRINKM: see the mentioned doc, many of the French date fields there will be imported as Japanese formatted dates. The character format of the text is imported correctly - the field properties are set to "Japanese".
.
OOo 3.0? That far? I am quite sorry about this choice, as this issue impacts all companies trying to migrate to OOo. We have been working with a bunch of companies representing 500,000 enterprise users, and each of them told us that this was one of the main issues . I was thinking that with issue 29646 and issue 36594 the date field problems would be solved, but it seems that I was wrong... PS: thanks for rectifying chinese -> Japanese ;-)
