Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 11428
imported word doc incorrect formatting

I will attach the doc. Open it in Office 97, then in openoffoce. The formatting does not match. The openoffice version of the formatting makes the document unusable in openoffice.
Created attachment 4684 [details] document that formats differently in ooo and ms-word 97
Thank you for using and supporting OOo. 1.0.3.1 has problems importing the document. 1.1 Beta 2 does a much better job. The key issue is the continuous section break with a different margin. OOo does not support this feature.
PM->HI: Is section breaks with different margins going to be addressed in 2.x?
Reassigned to MRU
Yes, sections with different margins will be implemented in OO 1.1 RC.
MRU->AMA: There's one little issue left (in my opinion). There are two (empty) paragraphs below the frame. Thesw have an indent of 4 cm and first line indent of 1,27cm. Thus, the frame is not wrapped by these paragraphs. I think, this does not make sense and should be changed. Then this Document will be 100% import.
No, I don't agree. There's not enough space between textbox and page margin for the indent of those two empty paragraphs. The consequence is that they are placed under the textbox. If you take a look at this document in Word and type a few characters in the empty paragraph you'll see some strange behaviour. We will have a deeper look at the indent and textbox wrap behaviour and see what we can do even I'm sceptic.
Not a major issue. Re-targeted to "OO later".
