------- Additional comments from cche...@openoffice.org Wed Jan 21 05:54:53 +0000 2009 ------- >From Ubuntu bug report: " Problem description: When saving a text document in MsWord 97/2000/XP file type, it seems that tab stops positions are saved with a relative position from the left margin instead of the before text Indent. When the file is opened, the tabs stop are set relative to the before text Indent. The result is that each time the document is saved, all the tab stops are moved with an offset equals to the before text ident value. It is moved to the right if the before text ident is positive, to the left else. Documents saved with OpenOffice format work fine. How to reproduce 1. Create a new text document and save it with the MsWord 97/2000/XP .doc file type 2. Put tab stops at 4 cm and 5 cm on the first line 3. Save and close document. Reopen it. Tabs stops are at 4 and 5 cm. 4. Change before text ident to +2cm. Don't change Tabs stops. 5. Save and close document. Reopen it. Tabs stops are now at 6 and 7 cm. 6. Change before text ident to -3cm. Don't change Tabs stops. 7. Save and close document. Reopen it. Tabs stops are now at 3 and 4 cm. remark: if after step 3., you open the document with MsWord, tab stops moved to 6 and 7 cm too. Conclusion: this bug is often silent, just because usually before text ident remains to its default value: 0. " Note this is reproducible on the official OpenOffice.org 3.0.0 also. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
