Hello Helmuth,
Hmm, well hard to say then. Lets stay vigilant if it pops up again. But
I am greatfull you invested the time and tried. Thanks for the effort!
For now I will try to keep this on mind. I follow the user list, but do
not read all mails. Maybe an eye catcher would be nice to get my or
other dev subscribed attention. Starting the subject with "[bug]" maybe
an Idea.
All the best

Hello Peter,
I used the Windows 'Open with' function of the explorer.
Today I tried to reproduce the problem with a fresh new document
created but had no problem.
Then I grabbed the old document I used before, but also had no
problem this time.
Before I had the problem with files of a program documentation, two
files with containing English text were correctly stored, the two with
the German text were destroyed. After repairing the files with AOO the
problem occurred a second time. Then, totally frustrated, I repaired
the files with LibreOffice (by replacing the stamp size pictures) and
had no problem with reopening, I also can open then with AOO now
without downsized pictures. Maybe the repair with Libre Office changed
something in the files.
So, if I can not say what to do to reproduce the problem, nobody can
do anything.
Sorry.
Greetings
Helmuth

The document was created with Word 97. Now, after repairing it, I
transformed it to ODT.
I think the bug should be fixed. I often tell people to use
OpenOffice because it is compatible (and free).

I could not find the Issue in ourr bugtracker
(https://bz.apache.org/ooo/). What developers can not reproduce, we
are not able to fix. This does not mean that you are wrong or right,
but the code base is simply to large to go on a goose hunt. so we
need something to go in for.
We need more Information. So how was the document produced in the
first place? Is it a document that has been created by AOO? Or
another Application?
I assume following steps on the document you had:
1. Open OpenOffice
2. Select openFile from the Entry OpenFile menue
3. Select the document
4. Press Open
Is this true?
Or did you use another way to open the document?
All the best

Why would you use Word 97 format? Personally, when I use a more
recent Word format there are never any changes to the document BUT
using the Word 97 format there have been.

Subject: OpenOffice destroys Word documents
Hello,
I opened a formerly created writer document which contains pictures in
jpg-format. After changing some text, I stored the file. When opening
the document again, I found all pictures were smaller than before: the
size changed from half page size to stamp size.
This happens when I use the Word 97 format, not when odt- format is
used.
Kind regards
