Of course, duplicate my claims on your own before entering a new issue too. HTH, Twayne` I wonder, how are you anchoring the images? To page? Paragraph? Character? Joe Conner, Poulsbo, WA USA Thanks Joe; I know what you're about here. In Word I have the images anchored to the paragraphs the images occur in. When OO.o opens the Word document, the anchors often move. Usually they've moved up and to the left. When I look in Writer at the anchors, they've oten move up a paragarph is have been changed to anchored to a letter. If one screws up, they almost all get screwed up throughout the document. Regardless of the anchoring situation OO.o requires, it should be able to determine them from the Word doc that it opens. I no longer recall how small, but a small document doesn't have issues with the images; I'd have to look it up from 2.x. And these are only 20 to 30 Meg files, so they aren't really all that large, even considering they'e zips. I can't tell with my meager tools, but it sounds like a buffer problem to me of some kind. It's a really annoying issue. I've read that documents created from scratch in OO.o don't have this problem but I don't know that for a fact. HTH, Twayne` All of that to say, you are not alone. - K Definitely not alone -- and totally native OOo documents can't be exempted, at least in 3.1.1 on VistaHP. I recently had a project with tables, each of which had text and a graphic (pasted into the cell). They've definitely liked to move, not consistently but fairly frequently. All had the same anchoring. but only some had problems. I'd close the document after saving it when it looked fine, and on reopening, some of the cell contents would have slid down as if that cell were using vertical centering instead of vertical top. I found that if I temporarily added a row to the table above the problem area start, then deleted the row, things would go back to normal. Close to the same thing here; only if I delete the row added after pasting in the image, it more often than not jumps up and left of the table again! It seems to need/want that first line/s every time in a cell. You also have to have at least one para mark on a blank line after any text above it or it'll shove part of the text partly to the bottom. Using pic Layout shoots the image right back out of the cell again, but always up and left; never down as you mentioned. And the stupid anchor still sits there in the cell! Gr! But if I break the problem documents into multiple documents, a lot of those problems will mysteriously "go away" and everything will jump right back to where it belongs. it seems that repagination is the event during which the misalignments happen, but only in a "too long" document, whatever that might be. It appears to be between 20 to 30 Meg mostly. But that makes for a LOT of darned documents when I started out with only one in Word. I maybe could live with it if the limit was around 100K, but not 25k. I'm hoping the PTB might be taking notice of this thread. Thanks for your comments. Cheers, Twayne` My "problem child" is a 1.6M file -- 15 pages, each with a 5-column table containing a header row and 5 picture rows. Above each picture is a line of text. Apparently just reopening an existing file goes through repagination, for some reason. Yes, I sure hope this issue gets some attention. Do you think there's any point in opening an issue, or would it just be closed as a duplicate?

Re: [users] Re: Page numbering => a function
Hi Michele, In a message dated 2010.06.03 03:37 -0500, Michele Zarri wrote: I couldn't help noticing the "I forgot how to do page numbering" thread. After using Open Office for over 5 years I still have to pause to think my way through page numbering. I am not the only one. It seems to be a frequent topic on the list. ... True that page numbering is not intuitive, but that is the price you pay for the flexibility you get by linking the page numbering to a page style. If all you want do is to put a page number at the bottom (or top) of a simple document you may want to install the Pagination extension [1], which allows also other common tasks such as skipping the number of the first page, but that can potentially wreck the page styles of your document. In another recent thread, on Impress, you argued [correctly IMHO] that styles are not inherently a complicating factor. Indeed, styles are introduced to normalize - and simplify - common tasks by abstracting class attributes. Yet William is right about page numbering, and other routine word processing tasks (like envelopes and outlining) subsumed under styles, being frequent topics on this list. If extensions to facilitate those routine tasks wreck styles, maybe one problem is that the style classes are not adequately grounded. For example, numbering is a page attribute, but one that may be inherited from a document and a presentation medium (paper => pages). There might be multiple page styles in a document, but one might reasonably want them to share common page numbering attributes. Similar considerations apply to envelopes as a page style and hierarchical paragraph styles (whether of the kinds used in Writer or as used in Impress). So we may revisit these questions as OO's document models mature (soon, I hope).

Use the Tab key each time you want to demote the outline level. Or, use Shift+Tab key combination each time you want to promote the outline level. 3) The "Text Formatting" toolbar has a Promote and a Demote arrow. Use one of them. Observations of Impress vs Writer: 1) This is not used in Writer that I know of. 2) I have used "Tab" and "Shift+Tab" in both Impress and Writer to promote/demote. 3) Impress uses the "Text Formatting" toolbar while Writer uses "Bullets and Numbering" toolbar to "house" the promote/demote icons.

[users] Avery Label Templates
Is there a way to add Avery Templates to the Writer. I am trying to produce name badges and need to use Avery Template 74549 which is not a current template offered. If I can't add templates, is one of the Avery download solutions compatible with the Writer. Thanks for your help. m I am new to Openoffice and am unable to find any documentation to address these issues. Dick Bettendorf, Iowa dic...@msn.com

On the Formatting toolbar, there is neither a Bullet List icon nor can one be added from the Visible Icons list.

Re: [users] Re: Page numbering => a function
On 02/06/10 19:04, William Case wrote: Hi; I couldn't help noticing the "I forgot how to do page numbering" thread. After using Open Office for over 5 years I still have to pause to think my way through page numbering. I am not the only one. It seems to be a frequent topic on the list. How difficult would it be to write a function with a dialogue that can be attached to an icon or a menu item that would walk a user through adding and or changing page numbers through all the possible perms and combs. Hello William, True that page numbering is not intuitive, but that is the price you pay for the flexibility you get by linking the page numbering to a page style. If all you want do is to put a page number at the bottom (or top) of a simple document you may want to install the Pagination extension [1], which allows also other common tasks such as skipping the number of the first page, but that can potentially wreck the page styles of your document. While searching for the link I also found another one, but I have never tried it so do not know how it works exactly [2].
