Underlined characters in RTF documents

[mchiuminatto]

Hi everybody.

I'm experiencing a little problem when I generate documents (with EA obviously).

I'm' working under Ubuntu with crossover office.

The problem is that when I open a document generated with EA in Open Office, it renders the characters (in fact almost the whole document) underlined. You may be thinking that I set those characters with underlined style in the template, but actually there is the problem; I didn't.

Yeah I know what are you thinking... why don't you click Ctrl+A and then switch off the underline Icon, yep I thought the same, but doesn't works, you must go paragraph by paragraph, sometimes  line by line selecting text and setting the underline style off.

Does anybody know how to turn this "feature" off?

Hi Marcello (still there?),
I have no idea, but there was another strange behavior with *NIX emulation where characters/lines appeared the wrong direction. Some re-installation did the trick AFAIR.

I experience exact the same problem with Open Office for Windows version 2.3.1

The build-in viewer displays the text as expected, Open Office underlines all text. Is this a known issue at Sparx? Will it be solved.

Somehow changing it around underlining the whole text and not to underline the important parts does not seem to work for my audience.

I have the same problem using OpenOffice.org in Windows.

For what I've understood, this is not a Sparx problem. I think that the real problem here is OpenOffice.org and its style incompatibilities with some file types (like MS Word, for example). In my case, even the generated fields appear corrupt in OpenOffice and that I can guarantee that is a reported bug in OpenOffice.org (opened a long time ago: http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=53221).

I don't think there's much to do in this issue... Nevertheless, if someone knows how to fix this it would be very useful.
