Frame on Writer lost position on save

#1

Hi everybody,
I have a this problem using Libreoffice Writer 4.2.2.3. I add some
frames on the document moving them in a particular position and I save
the document. When I reopen the document later, the frame lost the
position that i set before. (See the example attached)

How I can prevent this?

Thanks

Marco

Hi :slight_smile:
This mailing list doesn't get attachments. If you can upload to Nabble (it
automatically plonks the link to the uploaded file) or upload a file to a
Cloud storage type place and then give us the link that might help.

Chances are that you are using DocX format instead of the native Odt (=Open
Document [Format] Text). Please try again using Open Document Format. The
older MS format tends to work fairly well too but ODF is better.

MS formats don't have the "Anchor to page" option so if you do use their
formats try again but change the Anchor to "to paragraph" or something.
Still best to use their older format for MS Office 2003 and earlier
File - "Save As ..."

Thanks Tom for your answer! :slight_smile:

I put the img on my server at this link:

I didn't start from a docx file but I created a new odt directly from
libreoffice.

I hope the image can help you to understand better.

Thanks a lot Tom for your help! :slight_smile:
I uploaded the file on my server at this address:

Let me know if you find a solution. :slight_smile:

Hi :slight_smile:
Hmm, tricky. Any chance of uploading the file itself rather than a
screenshot? The screen-shot did seem to confirm that it's an Odt but apart
from that didn't tell me much.

I see the same event in LO 3.5. I also found that if I change the arrangement and then use the undo or redo that the undo and redo are not correct.

Hi :slight_smile:
Hmm, it might be better to try asking the question again on "Ask LO"
http://ask.libreoffice.org/
because you are not getting answers from many people.

When i try to download and open the file it
1. shows as being 0bytes
2. seems to have weird character encodings as it asks me which
utf-encoding i want (this could be a problem the machine i was on yday and
tonight.

Apols and regards from
