------- Additional comments from [email protected] Thu May 6 14:13:49 +0000 2010 ------- I just finished work on my Master's thesis using Writer, and I discovered an INCREDIBLY frustrating behavior with respect to page-anchored objects. Page-anchoring ties an object to a specific page number in the document, NOT to the upstream page-break. So, for example, if you have completed a 100 page report with dozens of page-anchored figures, and then you need to add a title page, you cannot do so without manually changing the position of all your figures. I'm aware that this issue has been posted as an "enhancement" here http://qa.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=103623 but I feel that this is a significant oversight in functionality that deserves to be called a defect. The logical solution for page-anchored objects is to anchor them relative to the nearest upstream page-break. This is the way that text works. That way, you can insert pages before them, and the relationship between the text on the page and the anchored object will be preserved. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
