Created attachment 102882 [details] The spelling variation file Problem description: Libre Office's Times New Roman is more "squished" when it is pasted as html, while the tables in Writer are too wide and are difficult to change. Steps to reproduce: 1. .... Copy.. and paste... 2. .... 3. .... Example: On this page: http://legendofgalacticheroes.blogspot.com/p/name-variations.html The top two paragraphs were copied and pasted from Word. The bottom of the page, where it says: >I know the correct spelling of the last name should be Lohengrin, but it’s not a matter of changing one letter, and this is the name of the main character I grew up with, so I’m leaving it. Is copied and pasted from LibreOffice. I tried making the spacing wider or the paragraph wider, but as you can see on the blog, it's still squished. Example 2: The tables shown on that same page is fairly wide. That's after I spent a lot of time modifying the height of the table. The tables copied and pasted from Word look like the ones on this page: http://legendofgalacticheroes.blogspot.com/p/notes.html Problem 3: When I opened up the word files in LibreOffice, there were a lot of spaces that were "grey". I could go over and delete the grey marks and replace them with spaces, but it was weird. Problem 4: The table I talked about in Example 2 was originally done in Word. When I opened up the file in LibreOffce, all the row heights were fixed at double-spaced, and copied and pasted as double-spaced. It was ridiculous. LibreOffice won't let me change the heights so I had to redo that entire table and delete the original table, and after struggling for hours, I ended up with what was shown in Example 2. SORRY ABOUT ALL OF THIS! Thank you for your help. Operating System: Windows 8 Version: 4.2.5.2 release
Hi Tracy, Thanks for submitting the bug. Unfortunately, its only possible to deal with one bug per bug report, so lets focus on the first one. So i opened up the file you attached and copied it from word 2013 to libreoffice 4.2.5 and if i pasted it as an RTF, it will come in perfectly. Then i saved the pasted data as an html file and opened that, and the text wasnt squashed. If i pasted it as html without comments, i noticed the grey spaces you mentioned in problem 3, and those are non-breaking spaces, which you can create by pressing ctrl+shift+space. those are displayed by default as a visual aid, but you can easily tell libreoffice not to show it (goto Tools > Options > LibreOffice Writer > Formatting Aids and uncheck non-breaking spaces). Please let me know if this all works on your side.
Not really. I had to edit Ch 1 of my blog today and when I tried to paste it back, the fonts and all the paragraphs were squished again, even though I did not touch any of the formatting, paragraph size, or line width. It was the same Word file that I saved from before. I simply changed a few words, but when it was pasted back, it was different. Here's what it looks like when it's copied and pasted from LibreOffice: https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-3SN_g4ah_Pc/U8d1XbQpsOI/AAAAAAAAEmw/b3QOSMi8mfQ/w964-h402-no/LibreOffice+Text.jpg Here's the exact same text unadulterated by whatever LibreOffice was doing: https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-y3Vn56AHY0Q/U8d1XoSP-PI/AAAAAAAAEm0/_ThiXOuL0jk/w964-h508-no/Word+Text.jpg As you can see, the two are absolutely not the same.
In fact, I just noticed that my spaces before paragraphs were all gone too....

He, without his military uniform, was still the “tall, handsome, red-haired chap” in the eyes of the logistics women spacemen. Sometimes, he also felt uneasy that his age was disproportionate with his rank. He still could not nonchalantly accept the fact the way his superior did. <o:p></o:p></span></div> <div class="MsoPlainText">
Hi Tracy, I seem to be a bit confused about this. Are you copying the html code from your website and then loading it into libreoffice or are you loading a docx file in libreoffice.
Jay, I suggested no such thing. I typed up the entire file in Word. Copied and pasted it into blogger, and I get this, where everything is perfectly normal: https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-y3Vn56AHY0Q/U8d1XoSP-PI/AAAAAAAAEm0/_ThiXOuL0jk/w964-h508-no/Word+Text.jpg I open up the exact same docx file in LibreOffice, change a few words, copy and paste it back into blogger, and I get this: https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-3SN_g4ah_Pc/U8d1XbQpsOI/AAAAAAAAEmw/b3QOSMi8mfQ/w964-h402-no/LibreOffice+Text.jpg I just pasted the html code to show that even though it is the exact same document, when it's copied and pasted from Office, its html code is different from when it's copied and pasted from LibreOffice.
Should be UNCONFIRMED.

HTML export from LibreOffice is likely to be different from HTML export from Word, as they're two separate products. There are two pieces to consider here: 1) How closely does the HTML markup mirror the markup in the word processor? 2) How closely do we want to emulate Word's output?
