--- Comment #41 from ajlittoz <page74010...@yahoo.fr> --- Document processor developers are free to define the "coordinate system" for header/footer relative to text body or page margins. BUT, this convention should be clear so that users can appropriately design their page lay-out. It becomes crucial in thes current context of document exchange between platforms (with different fonts, therefore change in character sizes, width and height), locales and text processing applications. When the conventions for body/header/footer is known and defined, the conversion modules should recompute the placement of these areas in the target "coordinate system". Some may object that OASIS (or other coordinating body) did not foresee the problem and that the ODF does not contain elements to cope with this issue. This a very serious shortcoming impeding "safe" document exchange. Independently from visual fidelity to author intent, it is not acceptable to confer a standard role to a commercial proprietary application (even if it is the predominant one in the world) since its specifications may change without notice in unexpected areas and because some people made the deliberate choice not to use it. Also, the abrupt change of layout cause by this bug can have an economic impact: if total number of pages increases, this may mean another section (don't know if it the right word: a new large sheet folded into a 16-, 32- or 64-page section) to add to a printed book, i.e. more money to spend to manufacture the book. If the nuber decreases, we are faced with a non-optimal use of paper. IMHO, this a very serious bug which should be addressed quickly because it threatens the position of LO as a challenger of ubiquitous M$O and prevents presently a full replacement of said M$O by LO. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug. _______________________________________________ Libreoffice-ux-advise mailing list Libreoffice-ux-advise@lists.freedesktop.org https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/libreoffice-ux-advise
