Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 6723
HTML page margins can only be set in HTML source code
Last modified: 2013-08-07 14:38:26 UTC
When editing a web page, no matter what I do, I can't set the margins of the page to 0. I even went in the code and put in the following line with notepad : <body LANG="en-US" leftmargin=0 topmargin=0 rightmargin=0 marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" > The page looks like I want it to and loads into Ooo fine. However, once I make any change in Ooo, all the margin settings are gone. How do I get Ooo to create an html page with 0 for the page margins?
Thanks for posting Shane. Shane would like to be able to change the page margins via the margin arguements leftmargin, topmargin, rightmargin, marginwidth, marginheight for the BODY tag. Shane, in the future, you should post your request for support to the users mailing list. My workaround for your request is to do the following. 1. When using the OO 1.0.1 HTML editor, make all the changes you require, saving as often as you like. 2. Before your final save operation, switch over to HTML source mode and add the arguements to the body tag that you need ( ie leftmargin etc ). It is crucial that you edit the source as the last step. Anytime you make changes in the regular viewing mode, your body tag modifications will be lost.
SBA->ES: Enhancement or defect? I adjusted the title to match the current findings.
Well, it's obviously a bug but I'm affraid it is a 'concept bug' which has something to do with the HTML WYSIWYG view of Writer Web... So, I leave it has enhancement.
Hello Michael, I consider this as a defect, so it is changed on your owner.
It is not a defact, but a missing feature. Writer/Web and the HTML filter currently do not support to change the margins of the document. Since HTML is not part of the Q-PCD, "OOo Later" seems to be the apropriate target.
