Idea #20513: OpenOffice.org's ASCII file conversion has no preview

Written by wleoncio the 3 Jul 09 at 16:13. Related project: OpenOffice.org Word Processor. Status: New
Rationale
Whenever opening .txt files on OpenOffice.org, Writer shows a simple window [1], where the user has access to many different options for converting the file the best way possible. One problem with this is that it is not possible to tell if the selected options are going to give the desired result.

Solution #1: Implement a preview window similar to the one MS Word has
Written by wleoncio the 3 Jul 09 at 16:13.
When opening the same file on MS Word, the user gets a window with a preview of what the file will look like after the conversion [2]. OOo should have something like this.
