Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 10813
Text flow around picture adds left margin value
Last modified: 2013-08-07 14:38:26 UTC
If Text should flow around a picture extending into the left margin, and there is a left margin in the text, there is mostly extra white space (of margin size) between the picture and the text. Extra white space depends on picture position; it may vanish. MS Word does not show this extra white margin (-> import problem too) Sample document to display the defect is available.
Created attachment 4380 [details] Test case document
Duplicated with OOo 1.1beta2 on Windows 2000.
haven't found a duplicate issue. confirming
I would like to verify with the word document.
Created attachment 6509 [details] View of original file saved as .doc, opened in winword 2k
Created attachment 6510 [details] Even winword isn't perfect!
Attachment id=6509: Screenshot. I opened the .sxw file with OOo1.1beta2, saved it in Word 2000 format and opened it in Word 2000. Attachment id=6510: Screenshot. This is how winword (sometimes) handles graphics & indentation. Please do not make this happen in OOo!
HI->MRU: Please verify the behavior between OOo and MS.
MRU->AMA: This is the problem we discussed a few days ago. if there is a left indent, it also added as space right of a graphic, when it reaches the text area. I also think, that we should change this "Feature".
Our current behaviour is a feature and we did real coding for it ;-) We implemented it to display some HTML pages in the right way. If we don't want to change the layout of existing documents we could define a viewoption or extend our wrap property to make this disengageable.
FT->AMA: You are now the owner of filter issues. Please cross-check with Oliver-Rainer if this already solved/affected by his new implementation for objects in Word.
Accept.
Only minor issue. Re-targeted to OO later.
It is really a disturbing "feature". Is there a workaround? Mike
