[Bug 710812] Re: [Upstream] Writer mis-displays .docx table boundaries horizontally

 

Rick J.P., I am closing the bug task for LibreOffice as it has been
fixed in the latest development version of Ubuntu - Oneiric Ocelot.

This is a significant bug in Ubuntu. If you need a fix for the bug in
previous versions of Ubuntu, please do steps 1 and 2 of the SRU
Procedure [1] to bring the need to a developer's attention.

  3) What is expected to happen is when one opens attached file at the
  Terminal:

  cd ~/Desktop && wget
  https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/openoffice.org/+bug/710812/+attachment/1820157/+files/try_bad_in_OpenOfficeWriter.docx
  && lowriter -nologo try_bad_in_OpenOfficeWriter.docx

  it looks as it would in Abiword or Microsoft Office Word Viewer 2003.

  4) What happened instead is the document opens in portrait with
  OpenOffice Writer & LibreOffice Writer, with the tables spilling out
  of the page horizontally.

  WORKAROUND: Open in Abiword or Microsoft Office Word Viewer 2003 via
  WINE sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-wine/ppa && sudo apt-get -y
  update && sudo apt-get -y upgrade && sudo apt-get -y install wine1.2
