Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 210
Wrong interpretation of graphical object in MS Word document header
Last modified: 2013-08-07 14:41:36 UTC
Any graphic object created in the header of an MS Word document, for example a square box used as a visible border for a page and inserted in the page header, is not visible when opening with open office
Created attachment 48 [details] MS Word file whose header is misinterpreted in Open Office
This is not a problen of the WinWord Import. The Word processor can't insert any DrawingObjects/-Controls into the Header or Footer section. The simple reason is, that these objects (which we inherit from the Drawing Engine) can't show at multiple positions. The Writer own frames like the Text-, Graphic and OLE-Frames can handle this.
Reopen to reassign.
Andreas, This is a leftover from Juergen Pingel (issue had status resolved/later and thus was missed by most queries), maybe fixed by now, please check and close if appropriate. Thanks Eike
Now we're able to handle drawing objects in header/footer. This problem has been solved for OOo1.1. There seems to be another problem about the position, this is already fixed for OOo2.0. Not fixed but planned for OOo2.0 is the remaining issues #14045 about the layer of the objects. At the moment they are above the text :-( *** This issue has been marked as a duplicate of 14045 ***
Closed.
