Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 47806
Modify-Break changes Text position in pasted image
Last modified: 2017-05-20 11:31:26 UTC
This problem is illustrated with the attached jpg files : I need to incorporate into OO documets regularly images from other programms that contain mainly lines and some text. The only way to do this is to copy the original (Original.jpg) and paste it into OODraw (PastedINtoOODraw.jpg). Here the first problem is that the in the original hatched bars are black. Then I use the Menu point Modify/Break to convert into text and line objects (I get the same results using Modify - Convert to polygone) : it works except that all text position is shifted to the right. Not a major problem, but annoying enough to reposition all text objects Oliver

From which other program do you paste normally? Is this MapChart as visible in original.jpg? And have you tried to use the other insert options like edit/paste special ...if available? Thanks in advance.

Copying the chart and pasting it into draw shows the filling problem, breaking the pasted chart shows the text-shift.
Reassigned.
Yes, MapChart is the programm. I have worked before with Powerpoint and converting it into a MSOffice drawing and there is (for once :-) no problem. I only get "GDI Metafile" as option for pasting. I have also tried to create a bitmap in MSPaint with some lines and text and pasted this into OODrawing and did Modify/Break and there it seems to work (the text stays where it is). So it might be rather a problem how MapChart is encoding the drawing ? However I have pasted this drawing into other programs (e.g. a grafics viewer programm XnViwe ww.XnView.com, Powerpoint). There are no problems with the text position and the hatched bar is also pasted hatched. Pastinginto and converting in MSWord works also concerning text position and hatching (however Word has a problem with vertical text :-) MapChart can also export in EMF format (I attached MapChartEMFOutput.emf), but when importing this as image and then Modify / Break I get the same results concerning hatching and text position Oliver
