Last modified: 2013-08-07 14:41:36 UTC
An RTF file containing a table containing Windows metafile images is not read correctly (the images are not read)
Created attachment 10640 [details] Example RTF file that does not read
I can Reproduce the problem on OpenOffice 1.1 (default Install, US), Win XP Pro Sp1. (And MS Office XP Sp2). It is real problem. metafile is not diplayed in OOo. look at screenshot which I will upload, file opened in word xp
Created attachment 10702 [details] screenshot in word xp
set to new
Reassigned to MRU
MRU->CMC: perhaps a relative of issue 19718 (which is fixed in CWS filter14, but this one not)? The graphics in this RTF are also ignored.
The image in the example file is a "shape", meaning it is a "text box" in Word parlance. If I include the image in-line, OOo can read it. Of course, in-line images are no longer 'done'.
Same as issue 3790. Theres a good amount of work to do with shapes and the like in the rtf format. *** This issue has been marked as a duplicate of 3790 ***
