------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Mon Jun 18 03:52:43 +0000 2007 ------- In MS Word 2000/2003, the compatibility tab page (in Tools -> Options -> Compatibility) is used for MS Word to control differect compatibility options for different version. As we can see, there are quite a lot of compatibility options in this tab page. Now OOo 2.x only support a few of compatibility options. Most of them are not handled when importing/exporting a .doc file, which cause layout different in MS Word. For example, 1. Create a ms word file in MS word 2000/2003, enabled all the compatibility options (in Tools -> Options -> Compatibility tab page), save as A.doc. 2. Import A.doc by OOo 2.x, save the file as B.doc. 3. Compare the compatibility options setting between A.doc and B.doc in MS Word. All the compatibility options are checked in A.doc, while most compatibility options are unchecked in B.doc. Which will cause layout different between A.doc and B.doc It is not necessary for OOo to handle all the compatibility options, but in order to improve the interoperability with MS Word, one alternative way is to store the values of compatibility options in memory when importing a .doc file by OOo, and export them out when saving as .doc file. I will make a patch for it in the cws cjksp1 --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
