WW8: "Watermark" Graphics Problem, not in background after import
Last modified: 2013-08-07 14:38:26 UTC
Being new to OpenOffice.org, I'm not certain this is an issue with the program or with how I am using it, but I feel it is necessary to bring this to your attention. I have a document created in MS Word (97 I think) which does not display correctly in the OpenOffice Write program. The document uses "Watermark" graphics which should be a background item. However, in OOo it displays as a foreground graphic writing over the text. This document works correctly in another free Office replacement (602PC). Stephen J. Kruse

reassigend to mru can you please take a look on this issue?
MRU->AMA: Those Watermarks from MS Word are graphics which are anchored inside the header. Though these graphics have the property "in front of text", Word displays them in the background. Writer also needs such behaviour to display the graphics in background. On the other hand this could be tweaked by the import, that all frames/graphics in header are imported with wrapping "in background". I don't know, in which way we have to infor the User Experience dept. about this.

This seems like WFM in 2.0.2. Please confirm.
