I don't know where this type of issue belongs exactly either, but you can ask on the dev@openoffice.org mailing list (http://www.openoffice.org/mail_list.html#general) for redirection. Reassigned. Draw would problably be a better tool to map MS Publisher files to. However, to correctly map the text boxes that use text linking, Issue 33501 would have to be added. It would also require the ability to print multiple pages on one sheet of paper, for labels, etc. Some pages would need to be printed rotated, which is needed for those publisher files that are created as greeting cards, where some of the pages are rotated and all pages are printed out of order. This would take a lot of work in the printing area. 33501 does seem like a required addition. The rotate to print and multiple copy printing commands could be saved with the template so each use of the template included that automatically. MSPub often loses that information, causing a bad print (pre-perforated card stock is not forgiving of misplaced copy) but it can be adjusted in the printing specs. If this were added to Draw, would the scheduling and such be more straightforward? I really like the distortions available in Draw.. That would be far more fun than just placing graphics and text pub-style *** Issue 63354 has been marked as a duplicate of this issue. *** Duplicate to issue 29232. *** This issue has been marked as a duplicate of 29232 *** close |
