Hi :) Try keeping your originals in Odt format (for 'text' (really word-processed) documents) and then save in DocX or better still Doc. The way you are doing it, ie DocX for originals, is creating problems.
Actually DocX is a nightmare at best. Try to avoid it! Even MS Office renders it differently depending on which version of MS and which OS. So something in MS Office 2010 may look different when viewed with MS Office 2010 on Win7 or Vista and often will look weird in 2007 (assuming 2007 can open the file at all). The older Doc format is better as more programs render it properly now. In LibreOffice just "Save As ... " "MS Word (97/2000/Xp)" or set that as default in Tools - Options - Load/Save - General Regards from Tom :) --- On Thu, 31/5/12, jjs <[email protected]> wrote: From: jjs <[email protected]> Subject: [libreoffice-users] Writer makes a mess of saved documents To: [email protected] Date: Thursday, 31 May, 2012, 15:57 Hi, i don't know why but when you make a document, starting with just a blanc layout. You put in text and in between some pictures. Then it looks ok. When you save it in docx or odt format and then re-open it, it is a totall mess. aaaaaaaHrrggg! it totally does not remember were you placed the picture. It places thru the document and even on top of each other. How come this happens, this is really a big bug to me. I never have it at my job were MS Office is used and were the same actions are used. Thanks for helping. btw i use 3.4.4 Regards, jerry -- View this message in context: http://nabble.documentfoundation.org/Writer-makes-a-mess-of-saved-documents-tp3987073.html Sent from the Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- For unsubscribe instructions e-mail to: [email protected] Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted -- For unsubscribe instructions e-mail to: [email protected] Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
