Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 62822
Footnote disappear
Last modified: 2013-08-07 14:42:26 UTC
Hi I'm working with open office writer 2.0.0. I tried the following: -open a new document -insert a footnote with changing Numbering: Automatic to Character and selecting the space character " " -save the document to RTF file -reopen the document: The text in the footnote disappear and the space character " " is changed to "1". My questions are: 1) Has someone an idea to keep the space character in the footnote with the file extension "RTF"? 2) Does someone know an other way to keep text at the end of page like the footnotes do? *** Globally, I work on a VB6.0 project that integrate open office writer 2.0.0 and I need to have the possibility to send a paragraph at the end of a page and to save the document in RTF format. So I had the idea to use the footnotes but it doesn't work like I thought. *** Thanks for answers.
I can't confirm. I'm using OOo 2.0.1, but when I save and reopen the footnotes in the way you have described all the formatting is preserved, including using the space character " " as a custom footnote character. You are using the " " character simply to avoid having any character associated with the footnote? Why not avoid footnotes altogether and just use a macro to move the paragraph to the end of the document before a save occurs? Alternatively, you could put text in the section footer, but this seems more complicated. If you need ideas I recommend you ask on the forums: http://www.oooforum.org/ Can you try this with 2.0.1 (Release version) or 2.0.2-RCx (one of the 2.0.2 release candidates) and report if you still have this problem? If so, please attach the original document is odt format and the exported document in rtf format for reference. Thanks, Steve
I also cannor reproduce the problem with OO 2.0.2. If you still experience the issue with your documents, please attach such a sample file to this issue, so that we can reproduce it here.
Closed. Please try out with release 2.0.2.
