Description Unknown 2002-09-07 00:08:46 UTC 
Hi,

I'm used to create letter heads in the header area but with objects (text 
boxes, graphics, rects, etc.) outside the header, actually on the right side 
of the letter body *under* the header itself (like some adress and phone 
numbers). Those objects are meant not to be changed by mistake by the user and 
have to be replicated to every page.
So I need them to be part of the header, like in M$ Wörd.

But those objects will expand the header to their own lower limit, causing the 
header to grow very large, so the body starts far from the top. Or the objects 
are getting crunched by the lower header limit when they leave the header area 
to the right or left.

Would be nice to have this feature, so creating letter heads would be far 
easier.

Alex.

Ben, thanks for taking the time to post this request.

Could you please clarify the feature that you want.

Do you want drawing objects inside the header ( if so, please mark 
this as a duplicate of issue 5243 )?


Thank you for using and supporting OOo

Hi!

Drawing objects in header: That's what I wanted too, but I created 
another issue for that - which has been already marked as a duplicate 
of the mentioned issue.

Regarding the problem:

In the file I posted above you can see an empty box to the right side 
of the header. It is "crunched" by the upper limit of the text body. 
Just move it a bit up and it will extend to its full size. Why does 
it behave like that?

I want this box to be located on the right side next to the text 
body, while being part of the header. So it would be replicated to 
every new page.
But now it extends the header to its own size and the body is moved a 
bit down. So the box will never be placed on the same line as the 
body.

And as part of the header, it could not be easiliy changed by 
mistake, because you'd have to click into the header first to change 
the contents.

BTW, my name is Alex McKenzie. I changed it already in my profile, 
but my name for testing purposes still remains copied to every issue.

Alex.

Hello Alex.

Thanks for the update. 

Please see issue 3988.

In issue 3988 discusses the limitations of placing drawing objects in 
headers outside the header margins.

You can always repopen the issue if you think this issue is unique.
