Description John Culleton 2007-07-30 16:41:09 UTC
Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.5.7)
Installed from:    Slackware Packages
Compiler:          gcc 
OS:                Linux

When I export a file as Latex the file will not compile using a recent pdflatex. It contains unnecessary references that cause errors. And it does not handle page dimensions correctly e.g., by using the geometry.sty package. 
Examples:
\ocp\TexUTF=inutf8
\InputTranslation currentfile \TexUTF

These cause errors.
\usepackage{omega}

This is unnecessary and may cause errors :
\fancyhead{\begin{minipage}{432pt}
\begin{flushleft}

\end{flushleft}
\end{minipage}

The overall page width  is 432pt, but a minipage is not needed. There is a blank line in the above which causes the following error message:
----------------------------------------------------------------
Runaway argument?
{\begin {minipage}{432pt} \begin {flushleft}
! Paragraph ended before \f@ncyhf was complete.
<to be read again>
                   \par
-------------------------------------------------------------------
...and so on.  The whole routine is so badly prepared that it needs to be redone from scratch, and tested on real world examples.  I can save the same file as rtf and then use the old program rtf2latex2e  and get usable, if imperfect results. Taht program might be a place to start for the rewrite.  

FYI I use the latest texlive distribution of TeX. The older tetex distribution is no longer updated.

Thank you for your bug report or feature suggestion.

The "KOffice" application suite is no longer maintained, and all tickets are now closed.

We recommend to switch to the "Calligra" application suite, which has replacements for all unmaintained KOffice applications:

- KWord was replaced with Calligra Words
- KPlato was replaced with Calligra Plan

For more information, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calligra_Suite
