The info explains the setting from StarOffice 6/7 with OpenOffice.org 3.0.
The problem is "OpenOffice.org 3.0" : the options have changed in
comparison with OOo version 2.x.
Known issue?
("StarOffice 6/7" can be a mistake in our Dutch localization. That is
not my concern ATM.)
I don't know of any changes of the compatibility options from OOo 2.x to
3.0. May be you wanted to write "the options have NOT changed in
> comparison with OOo version 2.x."
In the help source file, "StarOffice 6.0/7" is a fixed string, meaning
that old .sxw format. For the other newer versions, we use the variables
that are filled in by the user's Help Viewer on runtime:
"In text documents created by %PRODUCTNAME %PRODUCTVERSION, the new tab
stop handling is used by default. In documents created by %PRODUCTNAME
prior to version %PRODUCTVERSION, the previously used tab stop handling
is applied."
That was correct for some time. The compatibility options were
introduced to versions of StarOffice 8 and OpenOffice.org 2.0. The prior
versions have been "StarOffice prior to version 8" and "OpenOffice.org
prior to version 2.0". So in that time the variables gave the correct
strings for the help text.
You are right to comment that it is no longer correct for OpenOffice 3.0
or StarOffice 9, because now the "%PRODUCTNAME prior to version
%PRODUCTVERSION" can be read as including "StarOffice 8" and "OOo 2.x".
Thank you for pointing this out.
So the right string would be something like this:
"In text documents created by your current version of Writer, the new
tab stop handling is used by default. In text documents created by
Writer versions prior to StarOffice 8 or OpenOffice.org 2.0, the old tab
stop handling is applied."
I'll change the text source asap.
