** Description changed:

  Binary package hint: openoffice.org-writer
  
- There is an issue with mathematical object size preservation when saving
- to Microsoft Word Document format.
+ 1) lsb_release -rd
+ Description:	Ubuntu 11.04
+ Release:	11.04
  
- Steps to reproduce:
- 1) Insert > Object > Formula
+ 2) apt-cache policy libreoffice-writer
+ libreoffice-writer:
+   Installed: 1:3.3.3-1ubuntu2
+   Candidate: 1:3.3.3-1ubuntu2

+ 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} } } }
  
- #this can be seen in attachment db-screenshot-1.png
+ in the .odt to:
  
- 3) Save the file as odt, open the file
+ size 12{ Prod cSub { size 8{ ital "k="1} } cSup { size 8{N} } {p rSub {
+ size 8{k} } rSup { size 8{n rSub {k} } } } } {}
  
- #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.
