Description tjfs 2001-11-15 13:15:44 UTC 
Two issues:

i) Long filenames in Windows still get truncated to 8.3 format when saving

ii) When saving in another format, e.g. Word, the extension is not changed so 
if you're not careful you create a file e.g. PALLIA~1.SXW which should be 
a .DOC.  Given the way Windows infers a file's type by its extension this is 
not good.

I changed the component to "framework"  because I have strong doubt
that this is "word processor only" problem. Please verify in a newer
build and comment. 

Reassigned to Thorsten.

When using a 641, which will be the newest OO-version,...

Issue 1 doesn`t occur and works for me !
Issue 2 doesn`t occur when using our own file-open dialog (extension is changed to the new choosen format) but occurs 
when using the windows-system file-open dialog. Here the "old" extension must be deleted, or the dialog changes a *.doc file 
into a *.doc.sxw (eg) file (new extension is added to the old one). This is a problem within the Windows dialog (Just check 
with another application -> for example Notepad -> it acts the same way) and can`t be fixed !
