Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 4973
View html source for OO Web Page Format
Last modified: 2013-02-07 22:38:42 UTC
I created a document saving it as .sxw or .doc and then save as web page. There is not menu item for view HTML source. If I open an .html document created in a diffrent program then the view html source menu item is there.
Hello Steve. You've raised an interesting issue. From OO's perspective, it's not really a bug. I think OO treats a document saved as HTML via the word processor as a text document that is formatted in HTML. A close look at the "Save As" file types lists "Web Page ( OpenOffice Writer )" as the so called HTML format. Hence when you open up the HTML document, it's launched inside the word processor not the HTML editor. I'm escalating the issue as an enhancement request. As a side note, if you open up the HTML document created via your instructions and strip out the <STYLE><!-- @page.... tag at the beginning of the HTML file, the file will be launched inside the HTML editor.

ES->prgmgr: well I would rate this as a "buggy feature" ;-) which, ok, also means enhancement. The UI (icons, toolbars...) should adapt to the document particularities *immediatly* after having saved the file -> "what you see is what you really have". WHat you say about the Writer layout/HTML layout is ciorrect but some inconsistencies remain: - when I Save the file I get -> the Writer UI - when I reload the file (File reload) I get -> the Writer UI - when I close and reload the file over the "last opened files" menu I get -> the Writer UI - BUT when close and reload the file over the "Open" file menu I get - > the HTML UI... ES->FL: I think you know this problem very well, isn't it?

FL->MMP: Do you have plans to change the current behavior?
looks like an idea/improvement for 6.y
Hi es, your comment Mon Nov 4 13:16:07 meets the point. This is a general OOo problem: often it is important to open a document fromt the righet environment to get the full OOo functionality of the required OOo UI, as shown in the example with the html document. I can confirm: only after I saved the html-document from the html-UI, i will get the html HI in future. I am rather sure that I saw similar effects for other file formats in the past, but actually I do not have any example present here. After someone - may be, me :-) - will have added such example, the summary should be changed to a more general information Rainer
We have the wame problem in WIN and IMHO with all OS, so I changed OS. I also changed version, because still visible in 1.1.0 German version WIN98SE: 645m19(Build8693) Rainer
This is still true in 1.9.108, and I think it is a RFE that should be considered. I found it odd that I saved my file as .HTML document and I couldn't view the source. Why is this?
See Issue 9110 also.
To grep the issues easier via "requirements" I put the issues currently lying on my owner to the owner "requirements".
