Description cheepee 2006-01-30 12:38:58 UTC 
I have to print rtf documents by Open Office 2.0 which contain paragraphs that 
are placed at the end of page whith the RTF command \posyb. When I open the 
RTF document with Word Office, the disposition of the text is good but not 
with Open Office writer. I think that Open Office does not interpret this 
command \posyb.

I have several examples of files to give. Does somenone have an idea?

Confirmed with OOo 2.0 Writer, WinXP SP2.

In MS Word, the marked paragraph appears at the bottom of the second page (I
assume as the author wanted). In Writer the command seems to be ignored. More
info on the RTF 'posyb' was found with a quick Google:
http://www.biblioscape.com/rtf15_spec.htm#Heading39

This is not a Priority 1, and although labour intensive can be fixed manually
(downgraded to P3). I imagine this is actually an enhancement request.

Regards,
Andrew

Ace_dent, I understand that for you it's not a priority 1 , but for me it is 
because I have included Open Office in a VB 6.0 project intended for a lawyer 
office and Open Office is used to open a lot of documents in order to print 
them. So the secretaries cannot spend one hour to reformat each document.

Maybe someone knows a RTF command to set a paragraph at the end of page in 
order to replace \posyb so that Open Office understantd it.

Thanks for your answers.

MRU->FLR: it looks, that the RTF command "posyb" is not interpreted by Writer's
import filter. It seems to generate an "old style frame" which was mainly used
by Word6 and older (in newer Word builds it is not available directly).
Comment 6 Mathias_Bauer 2006-07-04 14:27:45 UTC 
Due to missing resources retargetted to "OOo Later"
Comment 7 Mathias_Bauer 2006-07-04 14:34:43 UTC 
For me it looks quite nice in OOo2.0.3. Michael, what's your opinion?
Comment 8 michael.ruess 2006-07-24 14:56:42 UTC 
No, it's not. The frame is positioned wrongly; it should be at the bottom of the
page text area; like it is in OO 1.1.5 or MS Word. (see frame on page 2).
The posyb means that the frame is placed at the bottom.
