I made a 'template' in LO for an A3 leaflet with
a background image (page style) on the first
page. No margins, but with boxes with text,
table and images on top of it. Everything works
fine in LO, and also if exported as PDF. But
when saved as .doc the entire background image is gone.
Any ideas about what happens? Can't you use
background images in Word? So far the client has to use the pdf ...
How have you determined that the background image
has disappeared? Have you (or has your client)
opened the .doc file in genuine Microsoft Word or
in the freeware (Windows only) Word viewer? Or
have you just reopened the .doc file in
LibreOffice and found the background absent
there? I think there may be circumstances where
the .doc file does retain the background but this
is not converted correctly when reopened in LibreOffice.
Note also that the Background tab of the Page
Style dialogue (where you selected the background
graphic) has a "Link" box. If you tick this, the
graphic is linked and not embedded, and there may
be problems when you transfer the file to another
file system - e.g. your client's - where the
original image file does not exist separately at
the same absolute file path. Try unticking that
box. (But I'm not sure that will make any difference.)
I trust this helps.
