test files
In LibO Writer I've noticed a compatibility issue with DOC format (MS
Word 97/2000/XP/2003): when Writer saves to DOC format it creates
additional character styles.
Steps to reproduce (test files are attached):
(1) test1.doc was created with MS Word 2003 SP3 using the default
normal.dot template. Check the list of all styles (including the
character styles) in the document.
(2) In Writer open test1.doc. In the list of paragraph and character
styles there are some new character styles with odd names:
WW8Num10z0, WW8Num5z0, WW8Num6z0, WW8Num7z0, WW8Num8z0.
Save the document as test2.doc and exit.
(3) In Writer open test2.doc. In the list of paragraph and character
styles there is a new character style: Absatz-Standardschriftart.
Save the document as test3.doc and exit.
(4) In Writer open test3.doc. In the list of paragraph and character
styles there is a new character style: WW-Absatz-Standardschriftart.
Save the document as test4.doc and exit.
(5) In Writer open test4.doc. In the list of paragraph and character
styles there is a new character style: WW-Absatz-Standardschriftart1.
Save the document as test5.doc and exit.
(6) In Writer open test5.doc. In the list of paragraph and character
styles there is a new character style: WW-Absatz-Standardschriftart11.
You can go on repeating the procedure. In each new iteration a new
character style is created.
If a DOC file is opened and saved between Writer and MS Word you get
the same result but with slightly different names of new character
styles (WW-Default Paragraph Font*).
This behavior is annoying as after many save/open cycles the list of
styles gets cluttered with styles not used in the text actually.
The issue does not exist if the DOCX format is used.
The test environment:
- LibreOffice Writer 3.4.5 on an Ubuntu 11.10 or MS Windows XP Pro. SP3
- MS Word 2003 SP3 on a MS Windows XP Pro. SP3, all additional MS
updates installed (DOCX tested using MS Office Compatibility Pack SP3)
