Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 19131
Frame from Subdocument Disappears in Master Document
Last modified: 2013-08-07 14:38:26 UTC
Hi, I created a document with a frame at the bottom of the page and wrote some stuff inside the frame and above it. Afterwards I created a master document and inserted the first document as a subdocument. The problem: the frame and its contents disappeared in the master document, only the text above the frame appears. I tested on OO 1.0.3 and 1.1 RC3 and the problem persists. My system is windows 2000 (with all possibles updates!).
jw: reassigend to jw
could not reproduce this with OOo1.1RC4 can you please attach both documents?
Created attachment 9134 [details] Subdocument with frame
Created attachment 9135 [details] Master document
The subdocument and master document were created with OOo1.1RC4. Problem still exists.
hello renan, thanks for the documents, now i can reproduce this. this error depends on a configuration of the masterdocuments, page styles of the subdocuments are overwriten by the master document styles, this also happends to frames bound to the subdocument pages. i can give you two workarrounds 1. anchor the frame to paragraph in the subdocument or 2. enter the frame in the masterdocument and achor it here in to the page.
set target to office later set prio to P4 set Platform to all set os to all set version to OOo1.1RC4 reassigned to os set status to new
The problem has nothing to do with page styles. It's simply caused by the frame beeing anchored at the page and that it is not possible to link page anchored frames to sections (which are used to create master documents).
os->ama: This is not a UI issues. Maybe it can be solved by automatical conversion of the anchor type of page anchored frames.
We'll get another workaround with our new content(paragraph) anchored but page layouted frames in OOo2.0. An automatic conversion from page anchored frames to this new type is not planned for this version yet.
I just wanted to let everyone know that this defect is still present in 3.1.1.
