Description patrick_hogan 2005-10-18 13:50:59 UTC 
Summary
A piece of text with a graphic anchor immediately following it does not retain
changes made to its font and size after a save. 

The Document
I have been editing a document which was created as a new Writer doc, but with
graphics pasted in from an MS Word doc that was sent to me. The resultant Writer
file is saved as an MS Word2000/XP doc.

I have enclosed the problematic document.

Reproducing the problem
In the document, the word "wanted" under the graphic is currently set to 9-point
"Nimbus Roman No9 L" text. Set it to 54-point "DirtyBaker'sDozen" text, and save
and close the document.

When re-opening the document, the word "wanted" has reverted back to the Nimbus
font again.

Setting it to any font always results in it reverting back to the Nimbus font
again following a save/close/load.

The problem appears to be connected with the graphic image. The image is current
anchored "To character", and the anchor immediately follows the word "wanted".

Moving the anchor so that it doesn't immediately follow the word "wanted" allows
the font changes to be successfully maintained after a reload.

The problem doesn't occur when saving as the native .odt format, so I guess
something is being lost when the file is saved.

MRU->FLR: open attached .doc, select the word "wanted" (right below the graphic)
and set the font e.g. to Arial 18pt. Then save as .doc and reopen -> font turned
back to what it was before.
