--- Comment #1 from Zach Simmons <[email protected]> --- WordPerfect is one of the leading softwares used by lawyers because of the legal pleadings style tool and how easy it is to use that tool. Many lawyers and law firms use WordPerfect and lack of full compatibility for WPD files in other other programs prevents them from changing to cheaper or more widely supported/integrated or open-source options. OpenOffice also has this issue due to its dependece on libwpd. I compiled libwpd 0.10.3 in debug mode to make my deeper observations. I am working on a project where a sharepoint based law office management system wants to preview WPD files in the browser. WPD2HTML was useful for this purpose but failed to translate the pleading style elements to HTML. Further digging revealed that LibreOffice and OpenOffice both have the same issue. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
