------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sun Mar 27 03:42:34 -0800 2005 ------- 1. Create a document in OOo Writer containing Thai text 2. Save it in Writer in Word 97/2000/XP .doc format 3. Open it in Word 2003. I tried both the version from Office 2003 Thai edition and the freely downloabable Microsoft Office Word Viewer 2003. 4. Observe that in most runs of Thai text, all characters display as hollow boxes. Runs that contain no combining characters display OK (except that font and font size is wrong), but if a run contains any combining character then all characters in the run are displayed as hollow characters. Most runs of Thai text will contain combining characters. Attached is an example document with 3 Thai characters, then an English word, the 4 Thai characters. The first run of Thai text contains no combining characters and displays OK; the second run displays as hollow boxes. This is probably related to Issue #42909. I've marked this as P2, because it means that basic functionality (.doc export) is not working in a complex script environment. If the .doc file created by Writer is then saved by Word 2003 as XML, it is interesting to note that the entire text is a single <w:r>. Whereas if the document is created in Word 2003, then there will be three <w:r> elements, and the first and last <w:r> elements, which contain the Thai characters, are all marked with a <w:cs/> element, which indicates that the run contains complex script. I wonder whether the problem is that the .doc exporter is not marking complex script runs with the .doc equivalent of <w:cs/>. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
