Lost vertical position of graphics in page and lost graphics element when exporting as MS word 2000, with consequent lost of pages vertical layout.
Unable to replicate the issue, can you attach the sample document or may be the steps that you followed to save, and what graphics did the document have and so.
document is at http://spazioinwind.libero.it/davidechiodi/test.odt; it was originally created with OOo 1.4. Bye
This is not easy to explain... First is, that the graphics positin does not really get lost. The paragraph, where all the objcts are anchored to, moved to the first page. You can correct this manually by inserting an empty paragraph (just press Enter-key) in the lower part of first page. Now to the technical background of this behaviour: In OO 2.0 a higher resolution for processing fonts / formatting the document was introduced (mainly to get better compatibility to MS Word font display). The mentioned odt document was originally created in OO 1.1.x, thus it uses the older (lower) resolution. The information, which resoluition to be used cannot be written into MS Word format, thus the higher (new) resolution will be used whe the exported file is repoened in OO. This leads to the small difference in having one more paragraph on the first page then before. I hpoe, my words could explain the behaviour here and that this cannot be fixed anyway.
Closed.
thanks mru for explaining and for the great work all you do. Davide
