Hi!
When I copy a figure from draw and paste it into writer the text changes
length??. This make my figures kind of difficult to read...and restricting
me from using draw to make figures.
Example - make a textobject , times new roman 8 pt in draw. Highlight the
object (not only the text), copy the object and paste it into writer....the
text extends in length.....actually the letters look the same but tiny
spaces are inserted between the letters.....
The same effect can be seen by inserting a text graphics object directly in
writer.....
I've checked all the text/character parameters I could find but could not
find any differences.....
Any swittch/button I could try to fix this or is it a bug (feature....)
OpenOffice 2.01 on windows.

Hi, Kjell
I can't reproduce this - I did exactly what you described in your
example, and my text was the same length in Draw and Writer. I'm using
OOo 2.0.0 on Windows XP, in case that makes a difference.
When I right click on each object and select "Text...", the settings are
exactly the same in Draw and in Writer. I tried ticking and un-ticking
boxes etc, but I can't create the effect you describe. Sorry - not much
help to you so far!
Have you tried right clicking on the object and selecting "Character"?
[You can do this directly in Draw, but in Writer it seems that you need
to double click on the object before the Character option is available.]
On the "Position" tab, there is a Spacing setting; on both of my objects
this is set to "Default". Is one of your objects "Condensed" or
"Expanded"? - that would create the effect you describe. There is also
the "Kerning" option - if that is ticked in one object and not the other
it would affect the spacing between letters.
Hope something works.
