Description Diego Elio Pettenò 2005-06-21 03:37:05 UTC
Version:           1.4 rc1 (using KDE KDE 3.4.1)
Installed from:    Gentoo Packages
OS:                Linux

Trying to use KWord to edit an OpenOffice (1.1) document, all the lists in the document are stripped of the saved version of the document.

It loads them fines but when KWord saves the document in OpenOffice format, they are lost (they don't even show up whem reopening that file with KWord itself).

This makes unpractical using KWord directly to handle OpenOffice 1.1 files.

The bug still exists (with the .sxw format), but note that the OASIS OpenDocument format (.odt, default for OO-2.0 and hopefully KOffice-1.5) fixes this problem.
Comment 5 Diego Elio Pettenò 2005-09-27 03:11:46 UTC
Unfortunately, ODT is not a complete solution. While KOffice seems to load fine the documents from OpenOffice 1.9, it's not true the opposite: an ODT saved with KOffice containing lists is loaded without lists on OpenOffice 1.9 (latest version, it's true for at least the last 5 alphas/betas I've tried).
So I still think that missing the export in SXW is a quite big problem, as between this and the other problem (not sure who's responsible to that, but as KOffice seems to load OO's ODTs, I'd probably say it's not KOffice's) there's currently no way to export a document with lists with it from KWord to OpenOffice Writer (RTF doesn't work, bug in OpenOffice handling).

Yes, this is due to a missing implementation in OpenOffice, see http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=52127
(feel free to vote on that one :)

This is the proper long-term solution, ODT is going to be the native format in both suites,
whereas the Oo-1.1.x format is going to die. I don't object to fixing the .sxw exporter
of course, but that's a job for Nicolas Goutte anyway, I don't know that code.

How do I vote at OOo?  I clicked "vote for this bug", but I was only
shown a help page.  I did not find a "create a login" button.
Comment 9 Richard Bos 2005-09-28 21:05:16 UTC
One can create an OOo login by going to the "my pages" tab.
Just register, and wait quite a while before confirmation email
is sent.  The bug has now 6 votes...

Pardon, but are we sure that this is not a bug with KOffice? I too had many interoperability issues with KOffice and OOo and would like to vote.

Yes, I am sure. The files created by KOffice are valid (they validate against 
the strict RelaxNG schema, and make sense semantically as well).
The only problem is that there are two ways to model numbered lists in
OpenDocument, and we use one when writing out files, and OpenOffice.org
only supports the other. (And we support both when reading, this is why we can read
OOo's lists). However both ways are part of the standard,
so the fault lies with OpenOffice.org not being able to read it.
