I'm using OOo 2.1 on Fedora 6 (using the OOo site 2.1 not Fedora's
rpms). This is an ongoing saga working with a 350 page document. Just
when I think I understand how OOo works, it surprises (and disappoints)
me. I have a large number of pictures, most if not all inserted into
frames and I've captioned the frames. Every time I make major revisions,
I save to a new file for that version. I've had to pin down most of the
frames to keep them from stacking over each other (using the lock
position, size, and contents). I moved a number of frames to different
locations. Then did a page preview only to see that 4 frames with pics I
never moved (nearer the beginning of the document - the ones I moved
around were nearer the end) - the pictures disappeared. The captions
remained but the pics were gone. I had to copy the pics back in from an
earlier version.
Does anyone have an idea WHY this would happen? What could I have done
or OOo done to cause this?
I recall having that problem. I was able to work around that by saving
pictures as a link to a file that I kept with the document. This worked
well enough to let me publish a book
(http://www.wescottdesign.com/actfes/actfes.html), but it's not the best
answer to the problem.
This problem seemed to go away with OOo 2.0 -- you should file a bug if
it's still an issue.
