Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 14613
problem with pictures copied from msword, slash/backslash issue
Last modified: 2014-01-27 14:20:49 UTC
given : windows 2000 msword with some .doc opened, some pics there (tested with msword 10/2002/xp) oo.org writer with blank document actions : copy picture from msword. paste it in oo.org writer. result : in win2k temp directory is usually located somewhere C:\Documents and Settings\<user>\Local Settings\Temp when copying from msword, i guess, picture is saved in temporary location and pointer to that location is copied in clipboard. this pointer looks like "file:///C: \DOCUME~1\<user>\LOCALS~1\Temp\msohtml1\01\clip_image002.gif" (at least with office xp on win2k) in oo.org writer there is no picture - just graphics container with this url displayed. it is possible to get the writer display the picture by a) replacing all backslashes with slashes b) removing "file:///" from the beginning of graphics properties link field
reassigned to mru
MRU->ES: The HTML clipboad format des not work correctly (checked with srx645 and sr680).
ES->DVO: can we work around this *MS bug*? Word 2000 sends to clipboard an URL with slashes -> Ok Word 2002 sends to clipboard an URL with blackslashes -> bug! We could do following: if clipboard link begins with "file://" and conains "\" then replace all "\" with "/"?
dvo: I agree it's an MS bug. We can probably offer a work-around, so I've changed target to OOo 2.0; this way, this will get into the next major version (if possible).

This also problem with word 2003. I hope we can reduce problems which user get by using OOo. Thanks
Re-targeted to "OO later".

Any known workaround of this MS bug? This bug makes it difficult to interchange info from Word to OO and is been around quite a while now. Best regards, Lars
well, as i mentioned in my (now 2.5 years old 8) ) post, you can manually fix picture after copying it : a) replacing all backslashes with slashes b) removing "file:///" from the beginning of graphics properties link field now, as i haven't used windows for last 2 years, i can't think of anything else :)

WIN ALL due to comments and Bug 124076 Status back to CONFIRMED because no assignee I can't imagine why this one has been rated "trivial" In the DUPs list there also are some "Copy/Paste from IE" problem reports, I am not sure whether they really are related: "Bug 58957 - Copy Paste from IE to OO Writer Text does not work well" "Bug 51156 - Cannot copy and paste text and graphics from IE web page"
With AOO 4.0 1) Paste normal: Result - FAIL 2) Paste special (GDI) Result - PASS 3) Paste special (Bitmap) Result - FAIL nothing was pasted 4) Paste special (html) Result - FAIL same as 1) Earlier posts indicated that it was a bug with forward and backslashes. It might also be that the paste detection code in Writer and Calc is broken since it is using the html format instead of GDI.
