[sw-issues] [Issue 75462] Mail merge wizzard messes up the document total!
To comment on the following update, log in, then open the issue: http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=75462 --- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Tue Mar 20 08:40:48 + 2007 --- I have tried what you said to check if it works, but it doesn't! 1. I need to delete all text to let the anchor stay at the top of the document. At once I move the object, the anchor moves too and the point of use is gone! 2. If I look it to the first character. The object is deleted when I have to delete all text to fix the layout. It also follows the text when I start to write. Then the objects move again. 3. The very nice Shift+Arrow movement of object doesn't work with paragraph/ character anchor! 4. After I have started to write in the text, I cannot do any changes on the layout. Then the anchor will move when I move any object and I have to start all over again. 5. If the document has more than one page, I have to put in a page break to design page two. Again when merged, I get a blank page two! 6. Mail merge still messes up the document when using paragraph/ character anchor. I have two picture on top of each other and the mail merge move the foreground picture to the background, so I only see the background in the foreground without the picture which should be there. Another thing is that the merging is actually working fine with page anchor if you use the workaround I will describe. The whole problem is step 7(which is another issue I will post soon). I want step 7 removed completely or at least get a posibility to skip that step. If step 7 is removed, it will solve many problem with page layout and maybe some print settings. Workaround: >From the document you want to merge, click on print out and then answer Yes on the following question and the merging is working fine, except some other bugs that also exist in the mail merge wizzard. But at least, I get the document I want with correct printer settings. This workaround have I used since I started to use OOo for three years ago. Actually the mail merge wizzard was working quite good in OOo version 1. There were of course many bugs there, but at least you managed to go through the whole wizzard to print out a short while. - Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.

There's no need to have objects anchored to page. On the other hand this anchor type makes it harder to concatenate documents as it is done in mail merge. - Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.

One of the reasons why OOo is so much better than word is the behavior in writer where you actually can lock picture and textbox to page. That means you can actually design the page the way you want, instead of getting objects moving around when you do any changes with the text, example change font, size... When optimaizing the page, you want to pictures and text box to the page, not paragraph or character. Because next time you want to reuse the page layout and then start to write new text, everything on the page is messed up and you have to remember all positions and redo the layout. If you only use a document once, it's not a problem, but when you reuse a document, it's highly timesaving to have page anchor. For instant, I write a news letter every month and save a lot of time with the locked page layout. - Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.

I closed this issue as 'wontfix' because it will not be fixed. It might be a solution to prevent the usage of page bound objects because there's no need for them anymore. But that is a different story. - Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.

And I am sure other people will have the same problem. Thus, this should be changed in order to work as expected by the user. I think thus that the issue should be reopened. - Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
