Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 15328
when saving as ms.doc arrows don't get saved/opened properly

create a plain writer document. put some lines there. change line endings to line arrows (arrows.sxw). now save this document as msword doc in different versions. 97/2k/xp (arrows-97-2k-xp.doc) opening it with oo.org : lines are.. .well.. different. line arrows now are bigger. on big arrows this maybe would not be much of an issue, but on smaller ones you might get art. opening with msword[xp] - arrows pretty much differ from the ones oo.org displays. they're a lot smaller. 95 (arrows-95.doc) open with oo.org/msword - nothing. empty document the same with 6.0 (arrows-6.doc) now, let's take msword[xp] and save our arrows-97-2k-xp.doc as 95/6.0 - arrows-6.95-msword.doc (msword has 95/6.0 as one format, oo.org has separate 95/6.0). hmm. although it complains about some background, arrows are there when we open document later - although when opening with oo.org they are only similar to the ones we saved and got in msword. so, the problems - when opening .doc, arrows differ from the ones saved by oo. org/msword; when saving as msword 95/6.0 arrows are gone

HI->MRU: Please pass to BH if it is really a enhancement
MRU->SJ: The same problem as issue #166? If so, please re-assign; I'll close it as double then. Thank you!
SJ->MRU: Yes, this issue is double to I166. We are having problems if storing our own arrows to Microsoft format, because they do not support only five arrow types. The arrow size we are using for the export needs to be improved.
changed owner
Double to #166. *** This issue has been marked as a duplicate of 166 ***
closed as duplicate. MRU->richlv: add yourself to the cc-list of issue #166 to keep informed about the progress.
