Though I could calculate it if I know the X, Y coordinates of the table upper left corner, the height of each row, and the amount of rows, I think that method is rather error-prone. -- Dotan Cohen http://gibberish.co.il http://what-is-what.com -- For unsubscribe instructions e-mail to: users+h...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted

Re: [libreoffice-users] Writer: How to know the X, Y coordinates of an object on the page?
Hi :)
It's the "Getting Started" Guide that has a chapter about Macros, chapter 13
http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Documentation/Publications#Getting_Started_with_LibreOffice
I think that's the one you meant.
Also Andrew Pitonyak's guide listed in the 3rd party guides is excellent
apparently
http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Documentation/Publications#Programmers
It's the last guide in that list.
Good luck and regards from
Tom :)

Wow, thanks Fernand. I must admit that I don't even know where to
begin with macros and I will have to do some reading before I get very
far with this. The official Writer Guide does not have any real
information on macros, but with your example code I should be able to
google my way around.
Thank you very much!
For the archives, that is for my future self next time I get stuck
with this: I simply increased the page zoom to a few hundred percent
and then looked at where on the ruler fell the cell border in
question. It was at 5.6 units, which makes sense as it represents the
fold of the page, which is itself just a tad over 11 units tall.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Writer: How to know the X, Y coordinates of an object on the page?
On 14/05/2012 17:55, Dotan ,
OK, then we use the table and some basic macro code
oDesktop = createUnoService("com.sun.star.frame.Desktop")
oDocument = ThisComponent
oVCursor = ThisComponent.CurrentController.getViewCursor()
oText = oDocument.getText()
oFrame = oDocument.CurrentController.Frame
oDispatcher = createUnoService("com.sun.star.frame.DispatchHelper")
oTable = ThisComponent.getTextTables().getByName("Table1")
ovcursor.gotoStart(false)
now the Viewcursor is in the top left cell of the table
do xray on oVcursor to find the rest

Dotan ,
Do some googling on a "Openoffice Viewcursor" on the forums you will find
all the answers about X,Y position.
You can also place the table in a frame who has its own X,Y coordinates
Hope it helps

Hi Fernand. I am working with an existing document. If I go wrapping
objects in frames their position with change and I won't know where it
was. That is also making the document much more complex. Furthermore,
I don't need to know where the upper left corner of the object is, I
need to know where a specific table border is so that I can line it up
again on the page after I alter the table.
