Description Greg Smith 2011-04-30 07:21:41 UTC 
Created attachment 46192 [details]
Word document that nearly imports correctly

The attached Word document gets close to being imported correctly. The main fault is that the headings in the margins sometimes do not get the correct positions. This can be corrected by selecting the malpositioned heading and changing the Frame settings Vertical positions from 1.34" Entire page to 0" Margin (the setting that correctly imported heading are set to).

The very first heading has this problem, as do others in the document.

I would very much like to change my company over to using LO from Word, but the treatment of these side-by-side (marginalia) heading is a show-stopper.

There are other faults related to paragraph spacing and text flow.

This bug was filed before the changes to Bugzilla on 2011-10-16. Thus it
started right out as NEW without ever being explicitly confirmed. The bug is
changed to state NEEDINFO for this reason. To move this bug from NEEDINFO back
to NEW please check if the bug still persists with the 3.5.0 beta1 or beta2 prereleases.
Details on how to test the 3.5.0 beta1 can be found at:
http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/QA/BugHunting_Session_3.5.0.-1

I have tried the document with the latest beta. The import of this document is now WORSE than before. The side-by-side frame with the header is no longer in the margin, where it was correctly placed before. The headings being on top of each other still remains as a bug.

Perhaps this document could be drawn to Miklos's attention... as according to a recent blog entry for the project, he is looking for import documents.
