To continue this discussion... From what I can tell, it's a writer problem whereby a textframe that has a backgroundURL set (embedded image) and the frame itself having an embedded image as it contents (or a part of its contents), all goes horribly wrong.
One other approach perhaps is to loop through the document - the ODT document (once finished), and obtain each of the graphics (embedded or not) in the document. For each graphic, export the image (no longer embedded), and store the graphic at a relative location nearby. Perhaps a ZIP file... Where after extracting you get your MS Word document along with all of the images that make up the original document? Thoughts or other suggestions? At present it means I can't go live with my solution until I have a viable workaround to my problem, or Oracle fix the OpenOffice issue (I guess :-( ) Thanks for any words of wisdom you may be able to shed. Chris ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Chris Fleischmann <[email protected]> Date: Wed, Feb 2, 2011 at 7:42 PM Subject: Please help/advice... To: [email protected] Hello my name is Chris Fleischmann, I have been using the OpenOffice SDK with OpenOffice.org for quite some time. All was working well, except for when I tried to save my document to MS Word format. I came across a bug where by a TextFrame with a background image (attribute: BackGraphicURL is set), contains another TextFrame holding an image, (see uploaded http://www.openoffice.org/nonav/issues/showattachment.cgi/67358/test2.sxwsample exhibiting one of the errors seen when opening in MS Word)... When trying to save the document, you get an error and the document doesn't open properly in MS Word, 2000, XP, 2003 or 2007. I previously logged a bug against this as: http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=103356 However this bug was closed as a duplicate of : http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=32638... However this bug is not the same I believe, and exhibits different behaviours... In any case, this bug has been opened for some time, and I guess I am hoping for a solution or any possible workaround. I can't imagine people liking the idea that they can't save their documents in MS Word format to not be able to open? I have tried now using LibreOffice for personal reasons as well as newer features, but the problem still can be observed with 3.3.0 OOO330m19 (Build:6), tag libreoffice-3.3.0.4 Thanks for any help you may be able to provide on the subject.
