Description ireneshusband 2003-03-21 22:21:25 UTC 
I am attaching an MS Word document that appears in WordView as a single page, 
but in OpenOffice spills onto another page.  Strangely, in wordview the first 
text box has 18 lines of text, whereas in OpenOffice it has 17, yet it is in 
Open Office that the second text box is forced onto the next page.

Thank you for using and supporting OOo.

The workaround is to change the bottom textbox to absolute page 
positioning.

Problem exists in 1.1 Beta 2 and 1.0.3.1.
Comment 3 prgmgr 2003-07-11 03:30:57 UTC 
In the attached document, the bottom text box uses the following 
layout ( right click text box, choose Format Textbox, Layout tab ):

Wrapping Style        In front of text
Horizontal Alignment  Other
                      Horizontal Absolute Position 0" to left of 
                      column
                      Vertical Absolute Position 7.25" below paragraph

If you change the absolute position settings to use the page as the 
reference, OOo imports the document as expected.

Gordon->MRU:  I know this one will end up in your lap.  I'm sorry
              that I cannot figure out if this is a limitation of
              OOo or a bug.

Comment 5 michael.ruess 2003-07-15 11:50:29 UTC 
This is a limitation of OOo. OO Writer is not capable of displaying
frames out of the top/bottom page border. When you mnually resize the
lower frame on its bottom border, you can see, that it will move to
the first page.

Issue #12284 describes the same. Thus I mark this issue as duplicate.
