Created attachment 46192 [details] Word document that nearly imports correctly The attached Word document gets close to being imported correctly. The main fault is that the headings in the margins sometimes do not get the correct positions. This can be corrected by selecting the malpositioned heading and changing the Frame settings Vertical positions from 1.34" Entire page to 0" Margin (the setting that correctly imported heading are set to). The very first heading has this problem, as do others in the document. I would very much like to change my company over to using LO from Word, but the treatment of these side-by-side (marginalia) heading is a show-stopper. There are other faults related to paragraph spacing and text flow.
[This is an automated message.] This bug was filed before the changes to Bugzilla on 2011-10-16. Thus it started right out as NEW without ever being explicitly confirmed. The bug is changed to state NEEDINFO for this reason. To move this bug from NEEDINFO back to NEW please check if the bug still persists with the 3.5.0 beta1 or beta2 prereleases. Details on how to test the 3.5.0 beta1 can be found at: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/QA/BugHunting_Session_3.5.0.-1 more detail on this bulk operation: http://nabble.documentfoundation.org/RFC-Operation-Spamzilla-tp3607474p3607474.html
I have tried the document with the latest beta. The import of this document is now WORSE than before. The side-by-side frame with the header is no longer in the margin, where it was correctly placed before. The headings being on top of each other still remains as a bug. Perhaps this document could be drawn to Miklos's attention... as according to a recent blog entry for the project, he is looking for import documents.
Dear bug submitter! Due to the fact, that there are a lot of NEEDINFO bugs with no answer within the last six months, we close all of these bugs. To keep this message short, more infos are available @ https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/QA/NeedinfoClosure#Statement Thanks for understanding and hopefully updating your bug, so that everything is prepared for developers to fix your problem. Yours! Florian

Repro 6.3+. Title "FILOPEN import of Word side-by-side heading superimposes headings" changed to the cause "FILOPEN .DOC Wrap around frame positions wrong, horizontal relative to Page, vertical relative to Paragraph". Note: headings content is wrong in Word 2016.
Created attachment 154927 [details] .doc compared MSO LO This .DOC looks wrong in LO 6.4+. But if resaved in MSO as DOCX, it opens wrong in MSO (and expectedly in LO). I decrease a priority.

Created attachment 176639 [details] Original .doc file exported as .docx by Word 2010 and removed a few images This document fails in LibreOffice 7.2 in much the same way. The side-by-side headings in the Word doc (which works fine in Word) are a mess in LO. In Word it was easy to set a style to set a frame and a paragraph style that generated the side-by-side effect. This appears not to be easy at all in LO.
The described problem has basically been fixed in LO 7.6 with commit 630732bfd8ed531e9d412a36a083f33763def054 Author: Justin Luth on Sat Mar 11 13:16:56 2023 -0500 tdf#112287 tdf#154129 writerfilter framePr: fix vAnchor default
Whoo boy - let me qualify that statement. It was fixed for DOCX (comment 17). It is not fully fixed for DOC format. It was partially fixed in 7.6 with https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/c/core/+/152331.
Created attachment 187548 [details] winsig34_Min.doc: three frames - two (with styles Margin/Heading3) are wrongly positioned
Created attachment 187552 [details] 133504_dump.doc:doc_dumper sprm details of the internal guts There must be some kind of default value that is wrong here. When I created a DOCX of this file, I get Margin3 (based on Heading3): <w:framePr w:wrap="auto"/> Heading 3 (based on Heading2): <w:framePr w:wrap="auto"/> Heading 2: <w:framePr w:w="2520" w:wrap="auto" w:vAnchor="text" w:hAnchor="text" w:x="-2807"/> In DOCX, these would all inherit the defined w:vAnchor from Heading 2, but in DOC it looks different. Margin3: specifies nothing - inherits everything from Heading 3 Heading 3: specifies 1000 0000 = H:Entire Page, V:Page Margin So, I'm not sure why MS Word would treat that as paragraph, unless it is because sprmPDyaAbs == 0 as a corner case? Ah, yes, that is likely because 0 has a special meaning of inline. "Inline (in line with text): Specifies that the parent object shall be vertically aligned in line with the surrounding text (i.e. shall not allow any text wrapping around it when positioned in the document."
Justin Luth committed a patch related to this issue. It has been pushed to "master": https://git.libreoffice.org/core/commit/5bdff09d5e7026c8176d11abfa164b1c44bf4222 tdf#36711 doc import: special case when DyaAbs is zero It will be available in 7.6.0. The patch should be included in the daily builds available at https://dev-builds.libreoffice.org/daily/ in the next 24-48 hours. More information about daily builds can be found at: https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Testing_Daily_Builds Affected users are encouraged to test the fix and report feedback.
Created attachment 187584 [details] winsig34_MinB.doc: Heading 3 is Entire page, instead of Page margin just to confirm that a DyaAbs of 0 also overrides a PositionCodeOperand pcVert of 1 (entire page) [since my testing was with 0 (page margin)] I hexedit'ed Heading 3 to become 90 instead of 80. Indeed, in MS Word 2010 the vertical is based on paragraph, not page margin. Two of the three frames are based on Heading 3 (one by inheritance).
