  Guillaume,

 I can see some other problems:
 * title is not correct 

Did you mean the title content (spellings?) or the font size of the
 title?
 If it's the latter, it's because openoffice server in this case has
 used
 for sizing, and this is filtered in the
strict
 filtering mode. 
 A title should be converted to a title (i.e. using the == syntax in
 wiki).

 Wasn't this a real title in the original word doc? 

It seems not. If the user editing the document was using headings instead of
font sizes, this would result in a title.

...

  I'm pretty sure you didn't mean the
latter one, if so please explain
 what's
 exactly wrong :)

 * lots of empty lines

 Good point.

 If any of you have some free time (which excludes vincent ;)) please
 try
 this :

 Open a new text document in openoffice and:

 1. Type one line of text.

 2. Press enter twice and type another line of text.

 So you'd have something like :

 " Hi, This is the first line

 And this is the second line"

 3. Save the document as *html*.

 4. Open the document in firefox and see the result.

 The same thing happens when converting documents via openoffice
 server. The
 problem is, for each empty line in a word document, open office uses :

What is the effect of "margin-bottom: 0in"? If it removes the new line
 then we should check for this and remove the paragraph altogether (for
 all filterings IMO).

Well it is supposed to, but it doesn't work in either FireFox or IE. But
anyway, since it is supposed to mean there is no newline in between, we
could remove such paragraphs. But consider the following case :

<p style="margin-bottom: 0in; background-color: red;"
>Paragraph-1</p>
<p>Paragraph-2</p>

In this case if we blindly remove the first paragraph, it will loose other
styles along with it. So we should only filter such paragraphs in
strict/moderate filtering scenarios. In non-restricted mode, we can't do the
same. Again, I'm thinking whether this filtering belongs to office-importer
or xhtml parser ?

WDYT ?

...

  For spacing. And this is obviously not correct.
May be I should take
 this to
 openoffice guys ? 
 Yes you should but in the meantime we can filter this (only when
 margin-bottom is 0).

Vincent, if you remember, I tried to replace
these empty paragraphs
 with
 elements. But I didn't mention this to you at that time. 
 Yes you didn't mention that there was a CSS with margin-bottom: 0in
 which changes everything...

Well I saved the best for the end ;)

Thanks.

  I simply
 didn't like these empty paragraphs ;)

 Thanks.
