Description Jean-Baptiste Faure 2011-10-22 04:07:24 UTC
Created attachment 52627 [details]
RTF document that is not correctly imported by LibO 3.4.3

Open the attached bugdoc. Several keywords are not interpreted by RTF import filter: MERGEFIELD, MERGEFORMAT and left as is.
This file opens correctly in OOo 3.2.1 and LibO 3.3.x but not in LibO 3.4.3 and in the master.

The attached file is a template used in French governemental administration. RTF format has been chosen because it is agnostic (in fact: understood as agnostic) about used office software. So this kind of defect blocks the migration of many users in the French adminitration from OOo 3.x and LibO 3.3 to LibO 3.4

Hi JBF,

There is some kind of MERGEFORMAT and MERGEFIELD support in writerfilter, so it should not be too hard to fix this in master. Will have a look as time permits.

Support for fields inside tables were completely missing in the new RTF filter.

Fixed in master: http://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/core/commit/?id=133f4d750a46dc67797d2f23f25a1bb39620d59f
