Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: Bullets in .doc/.docx documents always become ^?
Hi :) So when the bullet-points looked fine on my system it was because i had the proprietary 'MS' fonts installed?

[libreoffice-users] Re: Bullets in .doc/.docx documents always become ^?
This is quite strange, indeed. I created another test document in Micro$oft Word with the Times New Roman font (see attached bullets_test_2.docx, and the bullets showed up correctly in LibreOffice 3.5.2. So at this point I was thinking it is just a font issue. However, I opened another document, a meeting agenda for teaching assistants, that someone sent me (sample_bullets.docx). This was also using the Times New Roman font, but the bullets appeared as ^s again!!! Can anyone confirm this? Is there anyway to see what is different between the bullets in these two documents? http://nabble.documentfoundation.org/file/n3909470/bullets_test_2.docx bullets_test_2.docx http://nabble.documentfoundation.org/file/n3909470/sample_bullets.docx sample_bullets.docx -- View this message in context: http://nabble.documentfoundation.org/Bullets-in-doc-docx-documents-always-become-tp3901697p3909470.html Sent from the Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- For unsubscribe instructions e-mail to: users+h...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted

Thanks to Brian Barker, using a replacement table to replace the Symbol font with the OpenSymbol font worked to make the bullet points correctly. I don't mean to be too inquisitive, but does someone know why and how this is the solution, and could OpenSymbol be made the default so that compatibility with Word documents will be improved?

avamk: I downloaded and opened that file with Libre Ofice 3.3.4 (on Ubuntu 11.10), and the bullets and the numbers are presented correctly. -- For unsubscribe instructions e-mail to: users+h...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
[libreoffice-users] Re: Bullets in .doc/.docx documents always become ^?
Hello, Thanks for your quick reply. I have attached a sample .docx file exhibiting the symptom I described. I used the default bullet points/lists settings in Micro$oft Word 2010 to create this file. As you can see, when you open the file in LibreOffice Writer, the bullet points be come ^s. Would you be able to see what's wrong here?

Hi :( Weird, the bullets and numbers looked completely normal to me http://nabble.documentfoundation.org/file/n3904120/bullets-working-2012-04-11.gif bullets-working-2012-04-11.gif Ubuntu 10.04 (i think, although i'm getting increasingly sceptical so maybe 11.04) with LibreOffice 3.4.6.
