Public bug reported: OpenOffice Writer does not show and convert MathType equations correctly. When the .doc file containing MathType 5 formulas is opened in OO, all symbols of integrals, derivatives, sums etc. are missed or substituted by funny characters. As a result the formulas are messed up completely. The formulas are not converted to OO Math, but shown as figures (not editable) even if "convert math from/to MathType" option is selected.
This bug seems to be ubuntu-specific. Original bug sent to OO team was not reproduced (http://www.mail- archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/msg396313.html). However, it was confirmed in Ubuntu 8.04 and 8.10alpha, but not in Mandriva Spring (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=872833). This bug is really critical for people, who exchange documents with formulas with collaborators using MSWord+MathType. The test file can be found in original bug report (http://www.mail- archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/msg396313.html). ** Affects: ubuntu Importance: Undecided Status: New -- MathType formulas messed up and not converted in Open Office https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/256876 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
