Description jimparkhurst 2006-03-01 23:37:01 UTC 
Windows XP, SP2, current patchlist
Downloaded/installed OOOV2RC3_060222.
Press [PrintScreen] to capture full screen information.
Open OpenOffice.Writer.
Change page to (portrait). All other settings default.
Press Control-V (insert from paste buffer).
Image inserted conforms to Left-Top-Right margin. Bottom margin ignored.
OOV1.1.5 would resize image to conform to active margins.

Download/install OOo V2.0.2 RC4 (060227). Same response. Verified OOo1.1.5 process.
Comment 2 michael.ruess 2006-03-02 07:57:31 UTC 
That is a new "feature" in OO Writer. Since OO 2.0 it is possible to have
graphics which are anchored to paragraph to be positioed above/below the page
borders. This has been implemented for MS Office compatibility.
If you want back the "old" behaviour, activate the "follow text flow" option in
the graphic's properties.

Closed.
Comment 4 jimparkhurst 2006-03-02 15:53:20 UTC 
Thank you. You are conforming to a by-default "broken" Word/Office process? OOo
processing fixed that!
Comment 5 jimparkhurst 2006-03-02 16:14:40 UTC 
Continuing OOo 2.0.2 RC4 I am unable to follow your suggestion. Related commands
either do not exist or are "greyed out" (unavailable).

"Choose Table - Table Properties - Text Flow tab " (it's a text document without
table with an inserted graphic)

"Choose Format - Sections - Options button " ([Sections] is not available)
Comment 6 michael.ruess 2006-03-03 08:05:04 UTC 
No, please read carefully: "...activate the "follow text flow" option in
the graphic's properties". Not the table's properties. Go to Format.Picture
dialog (of course when a picture s selected). On the tab page "Type" you will
find this at the bottom.

Comment 8 jimparkhurst 2006-03-03 16:43:07 UTC 
Found the link. In addition...

You MUST select "relative" for SIZE Width AND height.
Selelct [Keep Ratio].
Select [Follow Text Flow].
Comment 9 jimparkhurst 2006-03-03 20:08:50 UTC 
Testing your "feature" scenario, I loaded Word 2002 (10.5522.4919) SP-2. This
version of Word will import a screen capture, AND observe the active margins,
AND observe the aspect ratio. It will left-justify the image where OOo would
center the image. No editing of the image properties is required.

OpenOffice 2.0.2 RC4 is broken.
Comment 10 michael.ruess 2006-03-06 12:13:20 UTC 
It is not broken, it just works differently in this case. If you desire a
different behaviour than the curren - this issue will be forwarded to the
ProductManagement for decision.
