------- Additional comments from [email protected] Sat Jul 11 00:46:05 +0000 2009 ------- Formatting of characters confused/lost when trying to do a 'Save As...' to the WordPad RTF format. Problem can occur just from doing a copy/paste from/to OO/WordPad (in other words, using the clipboard to transfer data). 1. Start OpenOffice 3.1 2. Select the 'Insert/Special Character...' menu/submenu. The 'Special Characters' dialog will open. 3. Select "Symbol" from the 'Font' drop down. 4. Scroll down and then click on the U+F0B7 bullet symbol (10 rows down, 8th column over). 5. Select the OK button on the "Special Characters" dialog. The bullet looking character will be typed into the OpenOffice document by OpenOffice. 6. Back at the document, Highlight the bullet character, and either press Ctrl+C or menu option 'Edit/Copy'. 7. Back in Windows, start WordPad (for Windows XP its START/All Programs/Accessories/WordPad). 8. In WordPad, either press Ctrl-P or menu option 'Edit/Paste'. 9. You should see that a Wingdings/12/Symbol character has been pasted in. The actual character looks like a clock showing 1pm. This is the wrong character. 10. Highlight the character in WordPad, then from the 'Font' drop down, select the 'Symbol' font. 11. You should now see the same character formatting representation that was originally entered in the OpenOffice document. If, instead of doing steps 6-11, you do a 'File/Save As...' from OpenOffice, and select a file type of 'Rich Text Format (.rtf)', and save the document, then reopen the saved document in WordPad, you will see that the symbol being displayed is the incorrect Wingdings symbol of a clock at 1pm. If you instead open the same previously saved rtf document in OpenOffice 3.1, you will see the character is formatted as a Times New Roman 12 character. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
