the writer layout is triggered by a timer, so if you create a document via the API then the layout may or may not be finished. the main consequence of this is the different position of soft-page-break elements, but it may also affect frame positions. here in Hamburg we use a tool called "convwatch" that compares documents by printing them and then comparing the postscript files graphically. this tool is apparently in the ooo repository in the module "testgraphical". > Regards, > Steffen regards, michael -- "Although many software patents have unfortunately already been granted in the past, I hope that this practice will not continue in future.
