------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sun Jul 27 23:06:59 +0000 2008 ------- I have a paper containing a quote with two instances of "s\he". Originally prepared in LaTeX, the code was converted (mostly) successfully to ODF by tex4ht. After some tweaking (to replace lost formatting), the document was exported to Word format using the "save as..." dialog and the "Microsoft Word 97/2000/XP (.doc)" option. If the resulting file is reopened in OOO, the text appears correctly. If opened in Word, the first instance of the backslash disappears and the second becomes a rectangular box of the kind that means a character is missing from the font. Work in OOO is with version 2.4.0 on Mac OS X 10.4.11 PPC (i.e. the latest stable release for my platform). The copy of Word used is on Windows. I know it is Word 2003 but I'm afraid I don't know which version of Windows. (I was using a neighbour's machine to check my paper before submission as I don't have a copy of Word.) The font used for this part of the text was Times New Roman and the backslash was in the same font. I am going to attach a document containing the relevant paragraph of text. I am guessing this will demonstrate the issue but I cannot check this so, if not, I could send the whole paper to somebody if necessary. However, OOO just crashed taking X11 with it, so I'll submit this and then restart OOO so that I can submit the attachment. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
