Hello All -
I am getting a strange symptom with OOo 2.0.2 Writer which may be a
bug. In addition to level 2, I have been using level 1.1.0 for some
time and a difference you might like to check was observed.
I used 2.0.3 for the test, Win XP Home;
The problem has to do with using COPY of web page data from Internet
Explorer 6.0 SP2 and then using PASTE in Writer to store the
information. In most cases this works and embedded links are preserved
but there is one site's data in which the links are consistently lost
using OOo 2.0 but they are preserved using level 1.1.0.
snip...
If you click on http://www1.va.gov/directory/guide/home.asp you will
reach the VA facility locator page and clicking on any displayed state
will present a page of all the facilities located there. I hold down
my left mouse button and select all the data from "<State name> (view
addresses)" to the last facility entry, then COPY from IE and use
PASTE in Writer to store the information.
I succeded by using Firefox, then in Firefox I copied from the same
start point but up to and including the first character of the web
page footer (the "E" of "Español" ) , then in writer I used the menu
Edit - Paste special... then select "HTML format" to paste the copied
page in an empty Writer document.
The first footer character is needed to have the table built in Writer.
I wasn't able to to it with IE.
It appears the two browsers don't copy to the clipboard the same way.
I may also be that Ooo 1.1.0 used a different method of HTML filtering
from the clipboard.
