Summary: Wrong character count as compared to MSO2007 and other
LO versions
Severity: normal
Classification: Unclassified
OS: Linux (All)
Reporter: e324...@drdrb.com
Hardware: Other
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Version: 3.5.4 release
Component: Writer
Product: LibreOffice

An archive with test documents and statistics
Different editors (Microsoft Office 2007, LibreOffice of different versions)
can show a different character count (with spaces) (see "stat_en" in the
attachment). This "stat_en" shows statistics provided by MSO2007, LO 3.5 and LO
4.0 for my test file (test.odt).
test.doc is a file converted with LO 3.5 from test.odt. As you can see, for
some reason the characters count for different formats (the text contents
remains the same) is different. This "text.odt" is a document from my work, in
which all characters are replaced with "a". In a real work document, which I
cannot submit, the characters count differs even between LibreOffice versions.
Moreover, the characters count can be different if I change the properties of
the document (for example, indicate an author) or insert comments (this bugs
seems to be fixed in the following LO versions).
Concerning the statistics provided by MSO2007 and LO, the difference is the
most drastical for the entire doc/odt document. The attachment also comprises
test_fragm.odt and test_fragm.doc, which are a copy of test.odt in which a top
page and headers are removed. The difference in the character count is not so
great, but is still present.
test_lo.pdf and test_word.pdf show the way these files are viewed in MSO2007
and LO 3.5. MSO2007 for some reason moves some text to the next page (which
needs a different bug report I guess). I use Liberation Serif instead of Times
New Roman (just a font substitution), however, they are compatible, moreover, I
don't have such empty space in a printed copy.
The characters count is a VERY important issue for translators who rely on the
characters count instead of a word count. Please note that this bug seems to be
valid not only for 3.5 but also for other versions.
