Description aaronforjesus 2004-08-27 17:07:04 UTC 
Allow text box frames in OO.o Draw (and Impress) to be linked, the same as can
be done in Writer. This allows text overflow in one text box to flow into
another text box that is linked. Perhaps the code in OO.o Writer could be reused
in Draw/Impress.

This is required for us too when users are moving from MS Publisher.

Can we please have some action on this? At least some discussion? Why are
features like this left for dead? Ask anyone you meet, they will tell you that
this should be basic functionality!

This issue is duplicate to issue 25732, which has got 16 votes. Unfortunately,
if I would close it, the votes will neither be transfered automatically nor can
I do it manually.

We´re a school and are looking for an alternative to MS Publisher for our school 
magazine. With this function Draw would be great for this. But without you can´t 
use it reasonable for creating a Magazine :( 
I guess it might be very helpful when pupils who bring interest for working with 
computers and not only playing games, get to know alternatives to MS early. 
I´m near to the point to let them all register here only to vote for this Issue. 
Cause 14 Votes in 6 Years is much too less... :(

To grep the issues easier via "requirements" I put the issues currently lying on
my owner to the owner "requirements".
