Serious Layout problem: Missing Figure. word and starsuite7 produces different output.
Hi,
I have been trying to use StarSuite7 for my correspondence to the
outside world, and have encountered a few incompatibilities before.
I can live with subtle character layout problem which is probably due to
font metric issues.
However, today, I noticed that a word document offered by
ACM as a template for paper submission is
not handled by StarSuite7 (update 5) properly.
StarSuite7 writer doesn't handle the placement of
figure in the document very well.
I am attaching an output (printed to Acrobat Distiller) to produce PDF from
MS Word, and an output from StarSuite7 on the same PC.
The zigzagged figure (Figure 1 in ms word output) is completely missing from StarSuite7 output!!!
I hope to bring this problem to developer's attention.
If there is a better forum to report this discrepancy of layout,
please let me know.
I have noticed similar layout problem with IEEE standard committee
documents before, but due to the nature of the documents, I could
not report such incidents publicly.
This ACM form file is publicly available and
so interested readers can play with it.
The URL for the word file.
<a href="http://www.acm.org/sigs/pubs/proceed/template.html" target="_blank">http://www.acm.org/sigs/pubs/proceed/template.html</a>
Pick the word version and try to see if it prints correctly.
I am enclosing the original doc file and the output PDF from
MS word and StarSuite7.
TIA
