Hi Bryan,
From a document layout perspective, form controls are handled like any
other shape. This means, how they behave in terms of page breaks depends
on how their anchoring and alignment properties are set up. If the
control shape is anchored to the page, it will stay on that page and it
will possibly overflow the page, if it is too large to fit onto the
page. Shapes that are parts of the document flow (anchored to paragraph
or as-character) will be pushed onto the next page if there is no room
for them to be rendered on the current page. Following content will be
effected by this depending on the text-wrap settings of the shape.
I'd recommend playing around with the various optins in writer a bit and
find the style that best accommodates your approach on structuring a
document. I personally find it most convenient to anchor form controls
"as-character", making them part of the normal document flow, which is
close to how controls behave in html.
Bests,
Lars

Hi,
getting further into the xforms model in open office am I correct in
surmising that to generate an xform in Open Office I am basically required to
generate draw elements for representation of common form controls, with their
svg:x and svg:y atttributes setting where the control is placed?
If a drawn control runs over the allotted page length how is that control
drawn? Is it drawn in the next page, is it not drawn at all. If it is drawn
in the next page is the x and y determined starting at that page top or is it
determined relative to where it would have been on the last page?
Cheers,
Bryan Rasmussen
