Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 5518
Headers and footers messed up when saving in other formats
Last modified: 2003-09-08 16:56:16 UTC
When saving in RTF, MS Word format, the header and footer of second page and following pages become the same header and footer as the first page, even if in the original document in OOo format they are different.
Created attachment 1853 [details] Test File: save it as RTF or MS word and check the header on page 2, comparing it to the header on page 2 of the OOo file
Hi, I am having the same problems. I am trying to create a 2 page word doc with different headers and footers on each page using OO. In OO it is fine but as soon as I have saved in Word format the headers and footers are messed up. We need this to work correctly as we hope to produce Data Sheets in this way. Thanks, Cheryl Belch
I have changed this issue to P1 as I need to know whether headers and footers are going to work correctly in the near future as this is one of the draw backs of changing to OO from MS Office. Thank you Cheryl Belch
Any comments on this issue please? Unfortunately, if headers and footers cannot be used I am stuck and will have to stay with MS Office! Regards, Cheryl Belch
cmc->mru: with export to word headers and footers are working correctly in SRX643t when I check this.
I have completed further tests as follows. I create a 2 page document in OO 1.0.1. The first page has a header and a footer. The second has a different footer from the first but no header at all. I save the document as Word 97/2000/XP and close it. When I reopen the document the second page now has the header of the first. All messed up! I also notice the names of the page styles have to changed to convert1 and convert2! I am attaching Test.sxw as an example! Try saving as Word and then reopen it! Thank you, Cheryl Belch
Created attachment 2563 [details] Document to test Headers/Footers when saved as Word
Yes, we know this issue. This will be fixed with the next OpenOffice 643 build. At the moment I can't tell you when the release date will be.
to: mru@openoffice.org Thank You for letting us know! As Cheryl, I am also eager to get this issue resolved because in my company we are definitely willing to switch 95% of the office software from MSO to OOo, and this problem was stopping us. Bye for now Giovanni
That's great .... I will look out for the next release! This was my biggest hurdle, hopefully we can soon move to OO! Thank you, Cheryl ;o)
Looks better with OpenOffice 643C
