------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Wed Mar 28 15:41:26 +0000 2007 ------- * How to reproduce: 1. Start a document in Microsoft Word (2003). 2. Add page borders to it (Format > Borders and shadow > Page borders > Add borders on both sides of pages > Options > Measure from text > Uncheck header subjacent and footers subjacent). 3. Edit the header and the footer and add somehting to them (for ex. the words "header" and "footer") The result will be something like this (| is the border and . is blank space): ...header... |..........| |..........| |..........| |..........| ...footer... The borders will be limited by the header and footer. They won´t go from the top to the bottom of the page (because the options "header subjacent" and "footer subjacent" were unchecked). 3. Save this document normally as a .doc. 4. Now open the saved .doc in OpenOffice.org Word Processor (v. 2.1). 5. It will open just fine, except for the borders, that will go from the top to the bottom, including around the header and footer, like this: |..header..| |..........| |..........| |..........| |..........| |..footer..| * Why does it happen: I think it happens because unlike MS word, Oo Writer does not have an option to exclude the header and footer from the page borders. I think it´s a non-implemented feature, but I don´t know the reason it´s not there. The funniest part is you´re able to do the other way around. I mean, it´s possible to have borders just in headers and footers, but not around text body. * Why I´m reporting this feature: The majority of the text documents people have here in my company were edited and saved in MS word with page borders. Actually, it´s the default template here, which people use a lot. At top of the page, comes the company logo (with no page borders). And at the botton of the page, comes the company address (with no page borders). But the text body has page borders. I´m trying to leave the microsoft office solutions here in my company and substitute them for the exciting openoffice.org. However, I´m having trouble with this particular issue. So, in other words, I cannot migrate to Oo. I´m stuck with MS word... :-( I´m not a programmer and I have no idea whether it´s a feature easy or not to implement. But it´s sure something I would want to quickly see in Oo, so I can adopt it here in the company. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
