Hi, All:
Let me talk about my concern.
Regarding the value is correct, there may exist the formatting mechanism
difference.
1. MS Word consider the above-paragraph-spacing + line-spacing (may also
including the below-paragraph-spacing? not sure) as the available vertical
space for containing text;
My investigation of MS word 2003 and 2010 reveals the following:
- the additional space of above-paragraph-spacing for rendering the text of the
first text line.
- the below-paragraph-spacing from the previous paragraph is _not_ used for
rendering the text of the first text line.
- for the character background and the paragraph background the
above-paragraph-spacing is _not_ used. Thus, it looks very funny in MS Word
2003/2010 when the additional space is used for the characters, but not for the
different backgrounds.
- for object positioning the above-paragraph-spacing is used. Thus, an object
whose vertical position is 0cm to the top of the line also looks funny from my
point of view.
My conclusion here is that MS Word is doing really inconsistent and funny
things.
2. OpenOffice consider the ling-spacing only as the available vertical
space for containing text;
Is that correct? If yes, then the inner value of line-spacing inside
SvxLineSpacingItem should actually equal to the value
of "above-paragraph-spacing + line-spacing" stored in DOC files;
And in my opinion, such modification should be in filter but not in
formatting;
Yes, for your question.
But I disagree regarding adjusting the value of the SvxLineSpacingItem:
(1) We have no SvxLineSpacingItem for the first line and the rest of the text
lines. Such a features also does not exist in ODF. From my point of view such a
feature does not make sense.
(2) The above-paragaph-spacing belongs to the corresponding Svx...Item which
represent the paragraphh margins.
(3) MS Word is doing really inconsistent and funny things here. I am proposing
_not_ to reflect these in our document model.
A further question is: as the total vertical space include above, line and
below are actually available for containing text, why MS Word trying to
distinguish them? On some other words, what the exact meaning of above and
below paragraph spacing in MS word?
As I am not the expert of MS Word and its file format I can not answer these
questions. From my point of view only MS experts can answer them.
And following the tips from Oliver, such value should only works on the
first line of paragraph. So whether it means that, the
above-paragraph-spacing has some kind of difference definition to the UL
space inside OpenOffice?
Here, I am not sure, if I am getting the point.
Best regards, Oliver.
