Bug Description
Binary package hint: openoffice.org
Basically, I can open a DOC file, that is created in Word2007. This document is saved in Form mode for editing of only the form fields, mostly text fields and checkboxes. I can open and view accurately, I can also edit seemingly with ease. But when I save the Document, with the field data entered, and then re-open the saved file, half way down the page, (there are lots of form text fields), instead of having a form field, they were changed to "FORMCHECKBOX" and "FORMTEXT". The Form formatting and field is now gone.
I am running Ubuntu 8.10, Open Office 2.4.1. I frequently and regularly update the system for patches. I have tried editing the same document, as well as like documents, with the same results. The option to save as an OpenOffice file will not work due to the requestors of this information being Windows only users.

Can you please try reproducing this problem with the official openoffice.org at http:// openoffice. org/ then report this bug upstream at http:// www.openoffice. org/issues/ query.cgi as the problem is hard for me to reproduce it would be better if you worked with the OpenOffice.org developers directly on this problem. After reporting the problem in their bugtracker please attach the bug number to this bug report. Thanks!
