--- Comment #24 from [email protected] --- Problem still reproduces for me on LibreOffice version 24.2.5.2 (X86_64) for MacOS Intel. Repro steps: - Start with an existing LibreOffice .odt file which contains a text box. - Right-click on the text box and press "Position and Size". - In the "Rotation" tab set the rotation to 90 degrees. - Press "Save As" and save the file as a "Word 97-2003 (.doc)" file. - If desired, you can also press "Save As" and save it as a "(.docx)" file too, for a slightly different version of the bug. - Close the document. - Try opening the resulting ".doc" file in both LibreOffice and in Microsoft Word 2003. Expected: - After opening the resulting ".doc" file, the text should be correctly rotated, regardless of which application you open it in. Actual: - The resulting ".doc" file opens and prints correctly in Microsoft Word 2003. - The resulting ".doc" file does not open or print correctly in Libre Office. - See this by open the resulting ".doc" file in LibreOffice: See that the text within the box is now incorrectly rotated at the wrong angle. - The shape of the box is the same, and the box's outline is still at the original rotation. However the text WITHIN the box is now rotated at 180° instead of 90°, so now the text's word-wrap has completely changed because it's at the wrong angle and doesn't fit the box any more. - The ".docx" version is also rotated incorrectly, but in a slightly different way; the text is separated from the frame and in a different place on the screen. Note: This bug is a particular problem for me in LibreOffice because I would like to use LibreOffice as a replacement for my aging copy of Word 2003. However I have many existing old documents with rotated text which will not open correctly in LibreOffice. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
