Re: [dev] Opening SXW files with OOo2.x

Hi Juergen,

 it sounds strange and we should analyze the problems. Can you submit an
 issue (component writer, sw) with an example sxw document attached. As
 far as i know no such problems are known so far and it would be
 interesting to know what happens.

Sorry for the delay. I was in holidays. I analysed the problem and
submitted a bug: http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=90872

The reason of the defect was: OOo 1.1.4 created some documents without a
/META-INF/manifest.xml. These documents were not opened correctly with
OOo 2.4. Thus my colleague copied a manifest.xml file in some of the
documents. By doing this the formatting was gone in documents where the
manifest.xml file was wrong. The submitted bug is very instersting.

Thanks all for the comments and help.

Greetings, Tobias

Hi together,

we just upgraded from OOo 1.1.4 to OOo 2.4. Our documents are all sxw
documents. Some customers claim, that the formatting is now different
My question: does OOo illustrate / display sxw files as OOo 1.1.x does?
Or are there differences?

If there are differences, is there a way to to open the files as they
have been displayed in OOo 1.1.4?


Yes there are many differences :-) Thousands of Bugfixes and Features
were implemented and fixed until OOo 1.1.4. This version has many layout
errors and missing functionality, which can lead to a different layout
between these two versions. If the formatting errors are too
dramatically you have to open issues as bug report. If it is possible
you can add the test documents to these issues.

The general compatibility should be given between these versions and
file formats.

  Thorsten

OK, so despite of these settings, differences remain?
In that case, I take back my redirection to users@ ;-)

I have big troubles here. Our customer has a lot of defect documents
that open like a charm on OOo 1.1.4. With OOo 2.4, the documents must be
repaired first. Looking at the contents of the defect sxw document, I
see that e.g. the manifest.xml file is missing. The reason why I am
asking this question is, that I want to know the reason for the bad
formatting. Is it due to the repair process, or are there general
problems known.

it sounds strange and we should analyze the problems. Can you submit an 
issue (component writer, sw) with an example sxw document attached. As 
far as i know no such problems are known so far and it would be 
interesting to know what happens.

thanks for the offer. Currently I try to analyse what happens. In case I
find a reason or some information, I will submit an issue and post it here.

probably totally unrelated: yesterday I stumbled over a four page Word 
document that misses the content of the cells in the first column of a 
Word text table, when opened with  2.4. or 3.0beta (opens o.k. in Word 
2003 and with WordPad). Would it make sense to open an issue and supply 
the document as a testcase? If so, whom (acronym) should I try to assign 
such an issue?

of course it make sense. Submit a new issue with the document attached, 
component writer/sw and default owner is ok. The guys will assign the 
issue internally to the right person.
