Task tracking system for Childs Source Users, Enterprises Category Improve Writer Filters Product Requirement Better Interoperability with Microsoft Tables and objects in Headers & footers Customer Need/Problem Data in Headers and Footers sometimes lost if header set as table or contains objects. Comment Part of tables item listed above Eng Effort HI Eng Owner Caolan McNamara Product Concept A) As part of the 'Writer Frame/Drawing object unification' specification drawing objects in headers/footers will be supported. All anchoring and alignment methods that are existing for frames (i.e. text frames, graphics and OLE objects) in Geordi but do not exist for drawing objects will be implemented for drawing objects as well. Negative offsets will be supported for frames (they are already supported for drawing objects in Geordi), but only if the 'wrap through' option of frames/drawing objects is set as well. If other products support anchoring/alignment modes that are not supported by Writer, these will be added to Writer (to be checked by CMC). The different user interface for drawing objects and frames will be unified. The complex UI for frame/drawing object alignments will be simplified and adapted to one more familiar to users. B) For headers and footers, a mode will be added where content that does fit into the headers/footers height will be clipped the same they as it is done in Word (CMC will provide spec for this). At the same time, the evaluation of header/footer heights will be adapted to not include images that are positioned outside the header/footer. Functional Specification 'Writer frame/drawing object unification' specification: spec for Frames-DrawingObjects.sxw to follow

cmc->od: I think it now makes more sense for this task to belong to you as you are doing the major core work to enable this functionality of merging drawings and flyframes in terms of equivalent positioning and ability to group them together. And you've already enabled allowing drawings in headers for example. You can write subtasks for mmaher for the winword side of importing and exporting this if it becomes necessary, only very minor tweaks (if any) are required in the filter to make use of this functionality when it becomes available for drawings.

OD->AMA: As discussed, please take over responsibility.
Okay, we implemented the following specs: http://specs.openoffice.org/writer/compatibility/negative_positions_for_Writer_fly_frames.sxw http://specs.openoffice.org/writer/compatibility/follow_text_flow_vs_leaving_environment.sxw http://specs.openoffice.org/writer/compatibility/adjust-object-positioning.sxw http://specs.openoffice.org/writer/compatibility/obj-pos-without-wrapping.sxw http://specs.openoffice.org/writer/compatibility/unification_of_object_positioning.sxw I think that's enough to close this issue.
Closed.
