Text boxes and embedded JPEG's. They were imported into Open, but lost when saved in Open with MS Office Format. The same type objects when created in Open are saved correctly in MS Office format. But the objects cannot be edited and saved in MS Office lest Open imports them, but cannot save them correctly. Thus making it difficult to run a hybred Office system.
Is that clearer? ----- Original Message ----- From: "Peter Kupfer OOo" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <discuss@openoffice.org> Cc: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Monday, May 30, 2005 6:12 PM Subject: Re: [discuss] MS Office Import/Export > A Fuller wrote: > > Open doesn't import or export properly if the file was originally created in Word/Excel. Most data lost is when the file is saved. If you create the file in Open and save it in Word/Excel format, no data is lost when moving file between Open & Word/Excel. It imports embedded objects and displays them from file created in Word/Excel. But, it does not save them. However, if you embed objects in Open, save them in Word/Excel, Both Open and Word/Excel have no trouble reading and saving. It is just if you make a change in Word/Excel and save it, Open has trouble importing and saving the change. > > > > This should keep you talking for awhile. > > > > Otherwise, everything is OK so far. > > Could you be more specific as to an exact example of something that > didn't work? > > Thanks. > > -- > Peter Kupfer -- Using OOo since 'OO4 -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Want to help? http://www.oooauthors.org > For OOo tips: http://openoffice.peschtra.com/tips/ooo_tips_tricks.html > To order OOo: http://openoffice.peschtra.com/distro/ooo_distro.html --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
