Description neviller 2006-08-07 13:58:54 UTC 
The attached Word document consists of freely positioned text frames ("above 
the main content") without any other content at all.  In MS Word, 4 frames are 
positioned one below another, three on page 1 and one on page 2.   

OpenOffice imports the document with all 4 frames superimposed.  

Patrick Luby of NeoOffice advised me as follows:
+ "You may fix that by selecting the frame (ctrl-click on the border area), 
choose Frame... from the context menu, and choose under Wrap > Settings "None". 
After that, you may adjust the frame size and position by dragging the borders 
to their appropriate place. 

+ As OpenOffice.org/X11 2.0.3 shows the same behaviour, this is a bug of the 
import filter for Word documents of OpenOffice.org."

OOo IssueTracker already has many issues concerning imported documents with 
frames, and I cannot tell whether this is the same as one of them, e.g. 44181 
(started) or 49734 (closed as "won't fix").

MRU->FME: I was only able to see the problem on Solaris. the paragraph where the
large frame is anchored to will be located on page 1 instead of page two when
opening doc with OO / Solaris.Can you please have a look if this is a problem of
OO or if the Arial font on solaris gives different metrics than on Windows or
Linux. Thanks a lot!
