------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sat Apr 5 06:59:57 +0000 2008 ------- The spec at http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Import_of_Hindi_numbers_from_Microsoft_Word_documents states that the conversion to Hindi numbers should be dependent on a setting called "RegardHindiDigits", which defaults to false. The implementation in ww8par.cxx, however, does not relate to any such setting. The conversion is performed on any CTL text. Also, as said before, a translation to Hindi numbers should be language dependent, not CTL dependent. But most seriously: The entire approach of handling the digit conversion does not match the inner handling of digts in OOo, and as such must lead to trouble. If you open an Arabic language word document, and you system settings are set "Show Hindi numbers", writer would have shown Hindi numbers in OOo 2.3.1 and before. If you want to display in Hindi numbers in OOo, you have to set the display settings to "Show Hindi numbers". Within the the document, the numbers are treated as 0x0030 .. 0x0039 values and not as 0x0660 .. 0x0669. Digits are stored logically as digits, and that's it. And there is an options of displaying in several shapes. As such, I suggest to revert the changes to ww8par.cxx to the pre-2.4 state. The remaining issue is not an issue of MS Word import. It is an issue that the OOo handling of digits could be enhanced. In addition to the three existing settings (system, Arabic, Hindi), there should be a language dependent one. If a numeral appears e.g. in a Arabic context, the text display would be done with Hindi numbers. This would give much more flexibility in number display, as it would be more document dependent and not only system setting dependent. vcl offers all the possibilities to "SetDigitLanguage" in many ways. There should a (not to complicated) way to connect text language to the digit language. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
