https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=385622 Summary: Dropdown form contents is not saved when using .doc format Product: openSUSE 10.3 Version: Final Platform: i686 OS/Version: openSUSE 10.3 Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: OpenOffice.org AssignedTo: eward@novell.com ReportedBy: sitsofe@yahoo.com QAContact: qa@suse.de Found By: --- Description of the problem: Filling in and saving it off a form containing a drop-down box in Word 97 .doc format will result in a file that does not contain the dropdown choices or the answer picked. Unfortunately it is not clear that this is what is going to happen and makes it difficult to use Linux in MSOffice environments. Steps to reproduce: 1. Download dropdownform.doc (to be attached) containing a drop-down Word form. 2. Open the dropdownform.doc in oowriter . 3. Click on the grey box below Dropdown. 4. Select "Drop-down Item 2" then click on OK. 5. Go to File -> Save As... 6. Put newform.doc in the Location box (I'm on KDE) and make sure the Filter is set to "Microsoft Word 97/2000/XP (.doc)" . 7. If prompted that formatting might not be saved click on Yes. 8. Close the current document (which should now be called newform) by going to File -> Close . 9. Go to File -> Recent Documents 1: (which should be the just saved newform.doc) and open it. Expected results: Drop-down Item 2 to be in the grey box below Dropdown. Clicking on the grey box to show a list of items as follows: Drop-down Item 2 Drop-down Item 3 Drop-down Item 4 Drop-down Item 5 (Note that the first line is an entry of empty spaces). Actual results: Grey box below Dropdown is empty. Clicking on the grey box shows a window which does not contain any items. How reproducible is this problem? It is reproducible every time. Version information: openSUSE 10.3 OpenOffice_org-writer-2.3.0.1.2-10.5 (also reproduced on OOo 2.4 from http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/OpenOffice.org:/STABLE/SUSE_Linux_... on a different system). -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
