2011-08-18 04:24:22 penalvch description Binary package hint: openoffice.org-writer There is an issue with mathematical object size preservation when saving to Microsoft Word Document format. Steps to reproduce: 1) Insert > Object > Formula 2) In the Formula edit pane enter the following two lines: size 21{ Prod cSub { size 14{ ital "k="1} } cSup { size 14{N} } {p rSub {size 14 {k} }^{size 14 n_{size 10 k} } } } #this can be seen in attachment db-screenshot-1.png 3) Save the file as odt, open the file #this can be seen in attachment db-screenshot-2.png 4) Save the file as doc (Microsoft Word 97/2000/XP), open the file #this can be seen in attachment db-screenshot-3.png I can confirm that by saving to doc format the code has now changed to the following line: size 12{ Prod cSub { size 8{ ital "k="1} } cSup { size 8{N} } {p rSub { size 8{k} } rSup { size 8{n rSub {k} } } } } {} The user is not notified of this resizing. My guess is that Microsoft format uses a different way of using math, and there is most an issue making a one to one conversion. I have been told that there are known issues with how picking the Microsoft document format translates math objects. Other than saving to the standard OpenOffice document format .odt, there is no way to prevent this resizing from happening. Binary package hint: openoffice.org-writer 1) lsb_release -rd Description: Ubuntu 11.04 Release: 11.04 2) apt-cache policy libreoffice-writer libreoffice-writer: Installed: 1:3.3.3-1ubuntu2 Candidate: 1:3.3.3-1ubuntu2 Version table: *** 1:3.3.3-1ubuntu2 0 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status 1:3.3.2-1ubuntu5 0 500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ natty-updates/main i386 Packages 1:3.3.2-1ubuntu4 0 500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ natty/main i386 Packages 3) What is expected to happen in LibreOffice Writer via the Terminal: cd ~/Desktop && wget https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/openoffice.org/+bug/424044/+attachment/2287815/+files/example.odt && lowriter -nologo example.odt save to .doc and open the .doc it looks the same as the .odt. 4) What happens instead is the embedded Math equation is resized. The Math equation changes from: size 21{ Prod cSub { size 14{ ital "k="1} } cSup { size 14{N} } {p rSub {size 14 {k} }^{size 14 n_{size 10 k} } } } in the .odt to: size 12{ Prod cSub { size 8{ ital "k="1} } cSup { size 8{N} } {p rSub { size 8{k} } rSup { size 8{n rSub {k} } } } } {} in .doc.
