yes, I know, this *can* work correctly. But as far as I can tell this
requires some more work than just changing the code in
IsPlausibleSingleWordSection() as the code currently doesn't seem to
support the First->Follow1->Follow2 page style chain.
@cmc: As the author of that code, what do you think? Do we just have to
omit the page margin comparison in IsPlausibleBlaBla?
For the specific question or removing the page margin comparison test. I
don't think you *can* have different left and right margins within a
single ms word section.
Correct indeed.
I write about the possibility to have something (different
headers/footers) done in the documents.
If I understand you correct, you write about the need to use a margins
check for the conversion.
Is this the case?
There's certainly no UI for it in MSOffice XP, you can set the
left/right margins for the section, and you can toggle the "title page"
on and off, and then set different headers for the title vs following,
but you can't tweak the left / right margins to be different for the
title page vs following pages. So if you remove the left/right margin
test then we're doomed when a title page style with a following style
that has different left/right margins gets exported.
What will be the unwanted effect?
What is the purpose of the margin check?
The top/bottom margin test is *possibly* tweakable to be more lax, but
again in general the title page header/footer area and the following
page header/footer area have to be compatible in size, again because you
the only allowed difference between the title page and following page of
a section in the word UI is the toggling on or off of header/footer. You
cannot change the size of the header/footer areas in the title page vs
the following pages. So I think we're doomed there as well.
Currently, because the different headers/footers are ignored when there
are different margins, as a result, both the different headers/footers
and different margins are lost.
Doesn't look as a gain to me.
Probably I miss something here?
Thanks,
