Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 11371
Word document not displayed or printed properly
Last modified: 2013-08-07 14:41:36 UTC
I'm enclosing an MS word document that doesn't load correctly in OpenOffice 1.0.2. I tried it on both Linux and FreeBSD with the same results - the upper right card is muddled, and the underlining is messed up on all cards. It works fine under MS Office 2000, but the second column does not display under MS Office 97.
Created attachment 4641 [details] MS Word doc that fails under OO 1.0.2
Thank you for using and supporting OOo. 1.1 Beta 2 almost does a good job with the layout. The problem is with the text boxes that contain the "Cell Biology..." text. They are all anchored to the same table cell ( top right table cell ) and use relative offsets ( some of them negative ) to place them in the other cells. As a workaround, if you manually place the "Cell Biology..." text in each table cell, the cards come out fine.
PM->HI: Should OOo support the complex anchoring and offset properties in the attached doc? In summary, all the text boxes with the text "Cell Biology..." is anchored to the top left table cell and the position is determined used absolute offsets. If you take each text box and anchor it to the appropiate table cell using absolute offsets ( all positive values ) the doc comes out fine in OOo 1.1 Beta 2.
HI: This is not a printproblem. HI->MRU: Please check the import.
MRU->AMA: the import seems o.k. All position values are correct. But: the offending frames are all anchored to the upper left table cell. With the changes of aig02 it should be possible to position the frames correctly, or not?
No, the only objects which are allowed to leave there environment are drawing objects. Within aig02 we implemented drawing object anchored in header/footer with a position outside the header/footer. This is not possible for text frames. Text frames are not allowed to leave the header/footer/cell/textframe environment of its anchor paragraph. For OOo 2.0 we should change this.
Oliver, you like to improve frame positioning, don't you ;-) ?
OD (23.09.2003): accepted, object positioning is my favourite.

Changed issue type to enhancement, because we have to introduce a new option at Writer fly frames to control, if they can leave their given layout environment (in this case the table cell) or not.
Fixed in internal cws swobjpos02
OD->MRU: Checked in internal installation set of cws swobjpos02 - please verify.
Checked fix with CWS swobjpos02.
Verified. Fix will be included in OO 2.0.
Checked OO 2.0 integration in 680m30.
