Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 2465
Water marks don't display properly
Last modified: 2003-10-02 08:09:47 UTC
I am going to refer you to the Word help on "Create a Water Mark" ! Follow this procedure with the Text Box option (haven't tried a Graphic yet !). The result is text which appears in the background wherever you placed the text box on the page, that text can be happily be written accross. Import the result into OO. The Text Box is in the Footer and appears actually in the footer itself. The one I was looking at was a huge 72pt "DRAFT" - this made the footer riduculously large !!!

JA->MRU: as discussed this issue might be a RFE because we cannot place the drawing object over the boarders of the table which is part of the footer. Please have an additional look at it and discuss it with Falco (FT). This isssue is platform independent (changed platform field from Linux to All).
By adding a watermark to the document, Word does nothing else than adding a Textbox or a graphic which is anchored to the footer, to the document. You can see this, when you doubleclick the footer in Word. Then you can select and edit this box. Writer´s concept works different: Watermarks are added via the page styles (tabpage "Background"). Footers in Writer were not concepted for storing content which is positined outside the footer. So after import the footer grows, so that there´s enough space for the textbox. Question to ProdMan: Is it worth the effort, to implement "content outside" for our headers/footers?

Hi Frank, Could you evaluate this one, please.
Seems that we have to spend some work on this issue, but is still a filter/import feature/bug due to different concepts of SO/OO and MS Word. So I think this one still belongs to you.

1 duplicate so far. Any movement on this one ?
This issue will be addressed in 2.0 FT->OD: Please close this one as duplicate once you've filed your issue. Thx.
OD (02.10.2003): Two enhancements will to be introduced to address this issue: (1) Position frames/graphics, which are anchored inside page header/page footer, outside its layout environment, namely the page header/page footer. This is addressed by issue #18732 in cws swobjpos02. (2) Special paint layer for frames/graphics, which are anchored inside page header/page footer and have a wrapping 'in front of text'. Such objects are painted *in front of* page header/page footer content, *but* *behind* document body. This is addressed by issue #14045. Thus, I mark this issue as duplicate *** This issue has been marked as a duplicate of 14045 ***
OD (02.10.2003): closed
