Using LO 6.3.5.2 Writer
While I was having the recent difficulty with getting graphics to stick in a
template, I prepared a short document copy/pasting header and footer graphics
into a Writer document as I went along.
During this work, there was a moment when adjusting the position of a footer
graphic on the page, the graphic disappeared completely. I had no idea why or
where it had gone and just supposed I had slipped and clicked in a wrong place.
When the document was finished, I exported to pdf to check that the hyperlinks
in the footer graphics were working as they should. To my surprise, I found in
the pdf, right in the centre of a single page, an upside down hyperlink that
also worked ok. It was a text box from the graphic I had lost.
This corruption was not visible in the Writer odt document, only in the pdf.
Deleting the page only made the corruption appear on the next one. Being
invisible in Writer, I couldn't find any way to remove it.
If deleting a page "only made the corruption appear on the next" page; that suggest
corruption linked with header or footer. Did you try changing Page style (Insert > More Breaks
> Manual Break > Page Break, Style) before deleting the page with corruption?
The page style I was using had both header and footer OFF ( at least, not
selected ON). But I did just try your idea of changing the page style just
before the corrupted page. The new page inherited the corruption but only as
long as it stayed in that place in the document. If I moved the new page down
with the navigator, then the corruption did not move with the page. Suggests
the corruption is in a fixed spot in the document.
Were the elements not at all visible in Navigator? Did you try examining in an
XML editor? (First save the file in FODT (Flat ODT) format or unzip the ODT
file to examine content.xml.)
Nothing visible in the Navigator.
Yes, following your suggestion, I've had a look in an xml text editor both flat
ODT and content.xml and I can't see the corruption. I'm not saying it isn't
there but life moves on and this cannot absorb more time.

Philip
