Bug ID: 154703
Summary: META Export DOCX flies with framePr instead of
DrawingDML

n592908-frameC.docx: top frame border spacing copied to paragraph border
spacing
Currently the only time that framePr is exported is if framePr settings are
grabbaged on import. Otherwise (most) frames are exported as a DrawingML shape
- which is imported as an editeng drawing object.
An exploration into exporting textboxes and captions using framePr can be found
at https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/c/core/+/150114.
FramePr PROs:
• simple xml
• imports as SW native – not a synchronized editeng monstrosity, better
styles, text area is already MS Word compatible.
FramePr CONs
• no overlap setting – layout decision to overlap sequential framePRs is
somewhat arbitrary.
• limited wrapping choices. No before/after/through
• relatively poor export support currently – missing
background/shadow/links
• not allowed in header/footer (at least, that is LO export rule)
• layout loops might occur: regression danger from making a change.
DrawingML PROs:
• encourages code improvements to editeng
• full wrapping support
DrawingML CONs:
• LO imports as draw frame sync’d to hidden SW frame. Causes layout issues
• poor anchor import - only TO-CHAR or AS-CHAR – often translates to poor
placement emulation
This is a META kind of report. My intention is to add documents that highlight
a specific issue so that the CONs (of both types) can be alleviated.
This first attachment shows top/left margins being duplicated on framePr import
(I assume). It bibisects to 3.3.1 (3.3.0 was OK). [Note - prior to 4.4, you
need to look at the number in the dialog box, not at the layout.]. Duplicate
left/right margins tend to be (mostly) absorbed in LO for some reason, but top
margins are applied twice.
