------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Mon Dec 5 00:23:51 -0800 2005 ------- This problem affects the document-making ability of Writer severely: 1. The TOC and Index become outdated fast, and no longer point to the correct page. I found that my TOC was offset by as many as 4 pages (but I had not made any changes to the file whatsoever). 2. Conversion to pdf is severely affected, because the file's pages change even as we are running the ExtendedPDF macro (for a large document, the macro takes more than 2 hours to create a pdf file, which is sufficeint for Writer to do its mischief). In my case, after spending more than two hours, finally ExtendedPDF reported a lot of "missing" bookmarks. The only way to create a pdf is to open the file, and then wait for a few hours to let Writer change the page count. Only then can we run the ExtendedPDF, hoping that the Writer won't change the pages further! 3. If you have sent a printed version (or even a pdf version) to your client, your soft copy will no longer match that. For example, you cannot talk about "on page 56, we need to...", because in your soft copy, now it is page 54! In a commercial setup, clients would not tolerate such vagueness. 4. If you regularly back up your modified files, a synchronizer would ALWAYS report your current copy as "modified", even if you have NOT made any changes. As a result, you end up backing up all your large files multiple times! This would bloat up your collection unnecessarily. ********* While problems 1-3 can severly cripple commercial use of Writer, problem-4 is an irritant. Therefore, I propose to change the priority to P2. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
