An OpenOffice doc with swedich char.
Open this doc in OpenOffice.
Save it as Word 95.
Close OpenOffice.
Start OpenOffice.
Open the Word95 file And you do not see the same file as you exported.
You can also try to open the Word file in Word95 and get the same error.
Please try current OOo 1.1.0, and reopen if problem still occurs Still the same problem using 1.1.0 Usig FC1 RPM: openoffice.org-1.1.0-6 I mean latest OOo in rawhide, meaning openoffice.org-1.1.0-28 Still the same problem in openoffice.org-1.1.0-28 caolan, can you take a look? as a temporary workaround > export LANG="" > oowriter and then export to word95 clearly something is using the system encoding, and if you run > locale you've probably got a utf-8 encoding. I'll investigate to see if this is a OOo error, or an unavoidable artifact of the word95 format which is must use 8bit encodings unlike the word97 one which is true unicode. Firstly I've got the up and coming OpenOffice.org fixed http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=33074 Secondly lets look at 1.1.X, I modified this stuff a lot for 2.0 because I was unhappy with the pre 2.0 code.

this patch would do the trick for 1.1.2
Submitted patch for 1.1.X to upstream ooo-build Will work in dans 1.1.2-5 testing rpm from http://people.redhat.com/dcbw/fc3 1.1.2-5 has hit rawhide, so this should be fixed. If its not, please reopen the bug. |

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): openoffice-1.0.2-4 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Write ������ in an OOo doc. 2. Export it as Word 95 3. Open the Word95 file in either Word or OpenOffice. Actual Results: You do not see the same characters. Expected Results: To see the same characters. Additional info:
