I am using OO 2.0.3 (developer release) on Linux.
=20
When I read a wordML document into writer using the wordML filter I find =
that a lot of the document formatting is lost.
=20
Specifically :
    - paragraphs with the "Titre" (french equivalent for "Title") style =
disappear,
    - heading paragraphs lose there "space before" attribute,
    - paragraphs with a grey background lose their grey background,
    - page numbers disappear,
    - some bold disapears, whereas some title bold spills overs the =
following text,
    - font is sometimes reset to the default "time new roman" instead of =
the font style value (in our case Verdana)
    - tables borders are present even if the border is not to be drawn =
or if the table cells are merged
    - document styles are renamed with a preceding "w" (I suppose to =
note the style comes from Word)
    - (...)
=20
This doesn't happen when opening a doc file : the conversion is quite =
accurate in this case, but the fact is I need to convert from wordML.
=20
Is there a way to solve this ?
