Description Robin Hill 2013-05-27 15:55:16 UTC
The 4.0 release supports Microsoft PUB files which is great.  Can't wait to stop using it.

But the wizard does not include the option to convert them.   The .PUB files can still be opened as documents, but graphics embedded in text are not handled properly.
Comment 1 Julien Nabet 2013-05-29 20:04:13 UTC
Robin: I can give it a try but could you attach a pub file for the test?
Comment 2 Julien Nabet 2013-05-30 20:10:41 UTC
Robin: give it up, I managed to find one.

Robin: i requalify this tracker as enhancement.
You'll see the new option with 4.1.0.1 (see https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/ReleasePlan#4.1_release)

David: I tried to cherry-pick the patch for 4.0 branch but it needs a merge. The merge is quite easy but git messages are not clear for me one merge done (above all git diff). Should I give it a try?
