Master Document : Character spacing difference between Master and Linked document
Last modified: 2003-11-10 12:34:11 UTC
Documents with Times Font ( and other Fonts ) have been linked to the Master Document. Creating the index in the Master Document I found out that the pages were different to the original document. I made screen captures of the Master ( bottom line of attachement ) and the linked ( top line of attachement ) document and compared the two.A closer look revealed that Master and linked file seemed to have the same page layout as the margins matched perfectly. A closer look at the font looked the same as well but the spacing between the characters is slightly different. This inconsistancy modifies the length of the page when the line is nearly filled up from the left margin to the right margin, as the last word moves than into the next line. As I have lots of illustrations in my document which cover about 1/5 of page size, the page numbering will differ totally in the master document compared to the linked document I tried it with several other fonts, but got alwways the same bad result ( the lines in the Master Document are longer than in the linked document. I am Using Redhat 9.0 with openoffice.
Created attachment 9709 [details] Character spacing difference - top Linked - bottom Master document
I just found out that, when I create a new document with Insert -> New Document from the Navigator of the Master Document, it has the same style as the Master Document. At least this looks like a temporary solution to get around the problem.
reassigned to jw
can you please attach a document? i just like to remind that inserting a document in a masterdocument, the document will lose its pagestyle and take that of the masterdocument.
