jinesh <[email protected]> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CC| |[email protected] --- Comment #7 from jinesh <[email protected]> --- Replicated the bug successfully under the following environment & configuration: Operating System: Windows 7 Home Premium - service pack 1 System type: 64-bit operating system Open Office Version: 3.4.1 Build: 9593 – Rev. 1372282 Steps and observations to encounter the bug: 1. 1st I created a .doc file using MS word 2010 having text and images. I opened it using ‘Openoffice.org writer’. It worked well. 2. 2nd I created a .docx file using MS word 2010 having the same content as in step (1). I opened it using ‘Openoffice.org writer’. I again worked well. 3. 3rd I created a file using ‘OpenOffice.org writer’ from the start menu with the same content and saved it using the extensions .doc & .odt (couldn’t save it using .docx as open office does not give that option). I then closed and reopened these files using open office writer, it worked well. 4. 4th attempt, now I tried to create a document (on desktop) using the following: Right-click -> New -> Microsoft Word Document But this document opens through OpenOffice.org writer. Being a MS Word Document it saves as .docx but opens with OpenOffice.org writer. Then I created this document using the same content as above i.e. text + images/flowcharts. Saving, closing and reopening the document respectively gave unusual result of missing images with only text visible and blank spaces in place of images. 5. 5th attempt, I saved the above document as .doc instead of .docx. It worked well. Everything got displayed correctly. 6. 6th attempt, I downloaded a document from mail (.docx) still the same problem as in step (4). But with .doc file, it works well. This is bug is important to the customer so that they be careful while opening the latest version of MS word file (i.e. .docx file) in OpenOffice and do not miss out any vital information that might be contained in the form of images. I agree with Mahjabin Alam ’s comment that if the document be saved as .doc instead of .docx will solve the problem. To add to this, it will only be possible when the document is created by the customer. But this simple way of changing the extension of the document from ‘.docx’ to ‘.doc’ will not solve the problem if it is downloaded from mail. It can only be solved if the document is again opened using MS word and then saved as .doc, which I feel will be redundant to have both MS Office and OpenOffice. So the bug needs to be taken care of. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
