I'll suggest you to file an enhancement request or a bug report at their bug reporting site. have a look here: https://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/FAQ/ProjectLevel/BugzillaQuestions/How_do_I_report_a_bug%3F I couldn't test your problem myself, since Apache OpenOffice refused to open at all (SIGABRT), so I just uninstalled it and that problem disappeared… I'm not sure what happened, because I think it worked a while ago. Never mind. Anyway, I'm not sure exactly what you are trying to do, but just for fun I experimented a bit with a rectangle in LibreOffice Writer, and I couldn't fins any problems with it. Creating a gradient was easy and I could move it around with expected results and, depending on the anchor setting, it stayed where it was supposed to stay. I'm not sure I'm testing the right things here, or exactly what went wrong for you, but at least the word processor of LibreOffice seems to work as expected. Unfortunately I couldn't test the same thing with Apache OpenOffice Writer, for the reasons I mentioned above. Maybe Apache OpenOffice Writer just isn't the best tool for what you do. Anyway, as mentioned above, if it doesn't work properly in Apache OpenOffice Writer, filing a bug report should be the next step. I didn't use Apache OpenOffice regularly for a long time, but historically I have had good experience filing Apache OpenOffice bug reports. I think most of them actually got fixed, some of them rather quickly. I don't know if this is true today, but maybe it's worth a try? Kind regards Johnny Rosenberg > Thanks >
