Hi Miklos, If you look at an OOo 3.3 doc file exported from an odt it changes the styles to:
'default' for the first page (was OO first page) 'convert 1' for what was OO default (viz the rest of the document) this as I said before 'kind of works' in that we don't get wtf? kind of responses back from people we send the files to. If you export them to doc and re-open them they look the same. Again as I said before our admin machines are all set to .doc format by default. They all run either openoffice 3.2.1 or 3.3 My first experience of libreoffice was with ubuntu 11.04. It was sufficiently broken - especially in combination with the natty interface that I ran a mile... the whole page styles thing has 'always' (to my perception) been very messy. problem is the most real nuts and bolts experience I have is in base (cos that was the messiest element of OOo, and the bit I most needed to work at the time). I can tell you for sure that the report wizard templates are completely screwed with regard to page one / default- and this is staying within OO file formats. I mean for example they give you an A4 page for page one and then the rest is all US letter - that kind of thing. It is easy to 'fix' as a user by editing the template files. If you know where to find them! best answer I can give you is yes it worked up to OOo 3.3, but 'properly' would be a bit of a stretch. and, again, thanks to you guys for sorting this. regards, Ian -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to openoffice.org in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/626827 Title: [Upstream] Saving to .doc format copies first page header onto all others Status in LibreOffice Productivity Suite: Invalid Status in “libreoffice” package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in “openoffice.org” package in Ubuntu: Won't Fix Bug description: Binary package hint: openoffice.org Binary package hint: libreoffice 1) Natty: lsb_release -rd Description: Ubuntu Natty (development branch) Release: 11.04 Maverick: lsb_release -rd Description: Ubuntu 10.10 Release: 10.10 2) Natty: apt-cache policy libreoffice-writer libreoffice-writer: Installed: 1:3.3.1-1ubuntu5 Candidate: 1:3.3.1-1ubuntu5 Version table: *** 1:3.3.1-1ubuntu5 0 500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ natty/main i386 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status Maverick: apt-cache policy libreoffice-writer libreoffice-writer: Installed: 1:3.3.1-1ubuntu3~maverick1 Candidate: 1:3.3.1-1ubuntu3~maverick1 Version table: *** 1:3.3.1-1ubuntu3~maverick1 0 500 http://ppa.launchpad.net/libreoffice/ppa/ubuntu/ maverick/main i386 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status 3) What is expected is when one performs at the Terminal: cd ~/Desktop && wget https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/openoffice.org/+bug/626827/+attachment/1871555/+files/05%20Orfanosentel%20bug.doc && lowriter -nologo 05\ Orfanosentel\ bug.doc Click File -> Save As -> File name: 05 Orfanosentel bug.doc -> File type: Microsoft Word 97/2000/XP (.doc) -> Save button -> Yes button -> Keep Current Format button -> close the document -> reopen the document the headers remain as they were when first downloaded. 4) What happened instead is that the header from the first page is inserted in the header of all subsequent pages.
