Saranya <[email protected]> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CC| |[email protected] --- Comment #13 from Saranya <[email protected]> --- Configuration: Product: Open Office Word Processor Date of Test: 06/22/2012 Version: Open Office Version: 3.4.0 AOO340m1(Build:9590) – Rev 1327774 Platform: Windows 7 Home Premium – 64 bit Description: The original report describes that if a Microsoft word files (docx) which contains tables, when opened with Open Office, layout of tables and table cell are different, from the original Microsoft word. Also error is same when the Open office file is exported as a pdf file. However I created and used a sample file “document1.docx” to perform the test. I followed the below steps in replicating the bug, Step 1: I created and saved a “document1.docx” which contains tables Step 2: The table is similar as the author did (i.e.) 2(rows) x 6(columns) with Tahoma font style Step 3: After saving the “document1.docx”. I open the file with Open office and I could see the table layout was different from the original “document1.doxc”. Step 4: I saved the open office as “documnet1.odt” to see the file can provide any information’s. Step 5: As per the author. Even I exported both the “document1.docx” and “document1.odt” to pdf format and saved as “document1_docx.pdf” and “document1_odt.pdf” respectively. Step 6: When I compared both the pdf files “document1_docx.pdf” and “document1_odt.pdf” I could see the same error as I said in step 3(i.e.) layout were different. Apart from original authors comments on table issue when I opened “document1.docx” with Open office, I also found another issue (i.e.) table borders are changing. Even though I created 2*6 table as author did which had “bottom boarder”, I also created three more tables each with different dimension and all are made as “all boarders” and when I opened with open office I could find all the table borders are filled with “NO border” option which is different from what I gave in “document1.docx”. Follow up Test: I took the file 1 “document1.docx” and open it in lower version of Microsoft word 97-2003 and saved the document as “document2.doc” it appears to be same as I created in original “document1.docx”. Further I opened the “document2.doc” in Open office I found the tables were correct as the original and saved the Open office file as “document2.odt”. I have attached the sample files which I used for test. File 1: “document1.docx” File 2 “document1.odt File 3: “document1_docx.pdf” File 4: “document1_odt.pdf” File 5: “document2.doc” File 6: “document2.odt” Speculation: When I tried opening the document from Ms word 97-2003 to open office it appears to be correct. So I speculate that some added features in MS word 2010 could not be read correctly by Open office. Importance of bug: Tables are used in many places to make the document looks better and visually interesting like advertisements, resume etc. For example: A person creating a resume using MS word for applying a job in company and if he uses the table to express his traits in his resume such as his academic score, technical skills, extra-curricular activities etc. If a manager reads it through Open office, the resume will look differently which may create an erroneous impression on that candidate and that person might end up in losing the opportunity. As a user I will be disappointed with this occurrence. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
