** Description changed:
- When using bulleted lists in OpenOffice.org's Writer and saving the
- document in plain text, bullets are not converted to anything, such as
- asterisks, in the plain text and are just left out. I tested this in
- Ubuntu 5.10's included OpenOffice.org Writer and in Ubuntu Dapper Flight
- 6's OpenOffice.org Writer (ubuntu package version 2.0.2-1ubuntu6).

- Reproducing this:
+ 2) apt-cache policy libreoffice-calc

- 2. In the blank document enter the following 3 lines:
+ 3) What is expected to happen in LibreOffice Writer via the Terminal:
+
+ cd ~/Desktop && wget
+
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/openoffice.org/+bug/38211/+attachment/2142831/+files/example.odt
+ && unoconv --listener && unoconv -f txt example.odt && lowriter -nologo
+ example.txt example.odt
+
+ the bullets in example.odt are converted to asterisks in the example.txt
+ file, as Word does it if converted from .doc to .txt.
+
+ 4) What happens instead is the bullets are removed but not replaced with
asterisks. The file was created opening a blank document then entering the
following 3 lines:
list item one
list item two
list item three
- 3. Highlight the three lines and click the "Bullets" button on the
- toolbar to make that list be a bulleted list.
-
- You'll see bullets in front of each item on the list.
-
- 4. Now, click File, then Save As, and save the document as a plain text
- document (for example: "bullets.txt")
-
- 5. In the Nautilus file manager, navigate to where you saved the plain
- text file and double-click on it and it would open in "gedit".
-
- There are no bullets (which could be represented by asterisks) in front
- of the 3 lines in the plain text version of the file.
+ Highlight the three lines and click the "Bullets" button on the toolbar
+ to make the list bulleted. Save as .odt file.
