--- Comment #16 from stfhell <stfh...@googlemail.com> --- > @stfhell > Is it possible to split this into separate bugs with brief clear and simple > bug descriptions? I'm a little overwhelmed with that enormous lot of samples The problem is I wouldn't know what to put exactly in the other bug reports. I was looking at how "Example 9" does its numbering and I was experimenting with autonumbering in Word to see where LO deviated and if there is any difference between DOC and DOCX import. I'm sorry for the lengthy comments but I couldn't make them shorter because I still don't know where exactly LO's problems start, I could only describe what I found in the file. Maybe it is in fact just one bug. The samples show (I think): (1) If autonumbering is used correctly in Word, LO can handle it. (2) Autonumbering in Word (without list styles) is obviously bound to lead to messy files, at some stage. Just ignore the files if you don't want to use them for any experiments. > I can confirm that "Lotus Symphony Release 3.0.1 Revision 20120110.2000" on > German WIN7 Home Premium (64bit) shows headings in sample 2012-06-06 03:09 > UTC, Timon correctly. > So it's a difficult decision: > - Is it that worth to invest time to do a fix for such strange documents? > - But if other free software is able to handle that, shouldn't LibO > be able, too? I think it would be worthwhile. "Example 9" is a typical real-life Word document. People create such files, partly because autonumbering is more or less "forced" on them by AutoCorrect. It's a feature which _should_ be used with some consideration. I regularly get Word files from people, and with LO (or OO) I can often only guess what kind of numbering the authors had in mind. Sometimes I have to use MS Word Viewer to print a PDF as a reference for the original doc's numbering. On import of DOC/DOCX, LO tries to convert Word's non-style autonumbering to a style-based numbering (the filter creates plenty of WW8 list styles). That is not a trivial thing to do, and I could imagine that this is the root of the problem. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
