I am using XP & Open Office 2.4 Writer to produce a book. The layout of each page in this book is broken into quarters (top left is a frame with text in it, top right is a picture, bottom left is a picture and bottom right is a text frame). My problem is that after I create and saved 5 to 10 pages, the lay out of these frames/pictures move when reloading document to do additional updates. It may be stable (all frames/pictures stay in place) for several updates. Then, I will open the document and find that a few of the frames/pictures have moved to a different page. The moved items may be several pages away and usually overlay other frames/pictures. I use "anchor to page, position to (right/left/top/bottom), To "page text" area. Would appreciate any help you may be able to provide.
Have you tried using tables instead of frames? Create a table with two columns and two rows and adjust its dimensions to fit the page. (The table need not have a border, so can be invisible in the final document.) Copy this table as necessary to other pages. (Alternatively, you could create a continuous table with two columns and enough rows to fill all required pages.) Enter your text and pictures as appropriate in the table cells. This arrangement looks easier to handle.
I trust this helps. Brian Barker --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
