Using suse linux 9.3 and opening an old m$ word 97 doc - straight text,
no graphics or apparent complications -
It is a 2 page doc, but in OO.o (version 2.0-pre) an (extra) empty page
appears as page 2, and it all becomes a 3 page doc.
After revealing non printing characters - shows a single paragraph mark
at the top of the (extra) blank page.
When this is deleted, the page disappears, and the original file appears
identical either in windows (using OO.o 1.1.4) or suse linux (OO.o
2.0-pre), with no obvious reason for the extra page to have appeared.
I think the problem is a combination of the following:
- a little shift in page-margins;
- a hard page (Ctrl-Enter) at the bottom of the original page 1.
Your solution is OK.
Changing the page-margins (top / bottom) works as well. Can be done easy
enough with the mouse in the vertical ruler. Or in the page-settings
(menu Format)
I have a lot of older doc files and would like to know if this might
happen with other files, and maybe how to avoid it.
What about a macro, that opens all the docs, and changes the margins of
each? Or just a macro that changes the margin of the open doc, assigned
to a key-combination?
However, such a macro assumes identical situation in all docs, so it´s
not that easy.
Hope this helps,
Cor
