Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 91194
WW6: unnumbered headings have bullet points after export
Last modified: 2017-05-20 11:17:41 UTC
I created and worked on a document yesterday (to do with my PhD) in Writer. I used bullet points, headings and endnotes extensively throughout the document and saved it as a Word 6.0 document so I can send it to my supervisor who uses Word. Today when I've accessed the document it has labelled all my headings with either a bullet point or a '?'. It has also reverted some endnotes to other numbers, which means that I have lost track of all my referencing, eg I don't know what statement I've got from where. This is particularly frightening (and now frustrating) as I can't rely on using Writer for this type of work anymore. I'm also highly disappointed that I can't use Reference Manager with Writer, although I can understand this is not a development priority.
Please attach a sample document (original odt) or send it to mru@openoffice.org, CC es@openoffice.org mentionning the issue ID in the subject line of your e-mail.
MRU->OD: unnumbered heading paragraphs will be exported with bullets to WW6 format. See attached sample. MRU->mariahelenak: for the remaining problem regarding the incorrect endnote export, please file a new issue and attach a sample odt. I am not able to replicate the problem with my test documents. You should better use the Word 97/2000/XP/2003 format for exchanging documents. Word 6 / 95 format is VERY old and there are many incompatibilities between newer products and this old file format.
