when you save to odf the appropriate filter is used. The problem was probably already during the import when the MS import filter was used. When the info is not present the export can't the info at all...

I am only guessing that this is the problem.

Hi Juergen,

That is what i found strange. I did not set any filters. Even when i did not do 
any programatically, I simply used openoffice to open the MS document using 
swriter and save as ODT document. The header in section 2 is still lost. 
However, different headers in section 1 are retained. Or are there filters 
automatically set with the openoffice 'save as' function?

Hi Wei Min,

it sounds like a filter problem. Once a document is loaded in the internal document model the API access should be same regardless the format. Please someone correct me if i am wrong

Hi all,



I am trying to open and read the different headers of different pages on a 
document in order to sort them. So far, my code works fine for openoffice 
files, i'm able to access each page and get their relevant pagestyle names to 
get the different headers. However, using this same code on MS files however 
seem to result on a bug. The problem is as follows:



I am able to access the headers fine for only the first section. If there are headers on a new section, the headers read by the program appears as "". However, when i physically open the MS document, I am able to physically see the header of the second section. But I am just not able to get it programatically, I also lose that formatting when i save it as a ODT file.


Am I doing something wrong or there are just some compatability issues with MS 
documents? Would this be updated with future versions of the sdk? I am 
currently using 3.1.



Thanks.





Cheers,



Wei Min
