Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 14601
Generated HTML should not display footer, or at least display correctly
Last modified: 2013-08-07 14:38:26 UTC
Since an HTML document is one large page, a multipage document shouldn't have the footer rendered as the page number is meaningless. The attached MS-Word HTML doesn't include the footer. If it is decided that the footer should be included, it should be displayed correctly. Each version produced by OO doesn't come close to how the footer appears in the document, and the 3.2 HTML and IE3 versions add a GIF to display the page number. A one row table would be more appropriate.

This also happens in 1.1beta. Additionally in this version, the page number from the footer is displayed in the top left-hand corner of the HTML. This is due to it being positioned absolutely in the top corner: <div TYPE=FOOTER> <p ALIGN=LEFT STYLE="font-weight: medium"><span ID="Frame1" DIR="LTR" STYLE="position: absolute; top: 0in; left: 0in; width: 0.28in; background: #ffffff"> <p ALIGN=LEFT STYLE="font-weight: medium"><SDFIELD TYPE=PAGE SUBTYPE=RANDOM FORMAT=PAGE>49</SDFIELD></p> </span>REGULAR APRIL 2, 2002 </p> </div>
Created attachment 6279 [details] Same, with v1.1b
Still happens with beta2. Page number overlays text in top-left corner.
Created attachment 7035 [details] v1.1b2

ES->BH: proposal: suppress header/footer on HTML export
new
Hello Michael, is there any chance to get the haeder-/footer-content displayed correctly in the Q? I am not convinced to supress them, as they might have other content except of page numbers. Please give approval for this evaluated OO.o 2.0 flagged issue. If you confirm with the target OO.o 2.0, then please keep it on your owner (or the owner of the concerning developer) for implementation. In case you want this issue for 'OOo Later', then please reset the target milestone. If you decline the issue finally, please set the resolution to 'Wontfix' (but do not close). In case of 'OOo Later' or 'Wontfix' please reset it on Bettina's owner. Thank you.
There are two issues described in this report. 1. Headers and are exported. That's in fact a feature: If a document is displayed in the paged view, headers and footers are exported, because they are visible. If the document is switched to the only layout, headers and footers become invisible and are not exported any longer. 2. The page number is displayed in the top left corner: The reason for this is that it is contained in a text box. Positioning of text boxes in HTML is very much restricted and therfor not all text boxes can be positioned in HTML where they appear in a text document. However, it might be that positioning might be done better in this special case, so one could consider this to be a defect. Since HTML is not covered by the Q-PCD, "office later" woule be target for this issue.
