           Summary: Borders can be made Negative
           Product: Impress

          Hardware: All
                OS: Windows 7

This shows before and after border is set negative

Configuration
Make: Gateway
Model:NV55S02U
CPU:AMD A6-3400M APU with Radeon(tm) HD Graphics
OS: Windows 7
OpenOffice Version: 4.1.2 
Steps

1.)    Open Impress and start a new presentation.
2.)    Click the border around “Click to add title”.
3.)    Click “Format” tab.
4.)    Then select “text”
5.)    Then under spacing borders make top -3

The image on the left is before the spacing is set. The one on the right is
after the border is set. The definition of “Spacing to borders” is to specify
the amount of space to leave between the edges of the drawing or text object
and the borders of the text. The definition “Top” is Enter the amount of space
to leave between the top edge of the drawing or text object and the upper
border of the text. I believe that the value should be positive. If it is
negative as it is shown the text is no longer in the text box and the borders
are meaningless.

--- Comment #1 from Regina Henschel <rb...@t-online.de> ---
The attribute fo:padding does indeed not allow negative values. But the problem
is, that it was allowed in OpenOffice from the beginning. And this feature is
sometimes useful to label a drawing or picture directly without need for a
group.

I confirm the issue, but I'm not sure, that it should be solved here in
OpenOffice. A better solution can be to change the ODF standard to allow
negative values. I think that needs some discussions with other producers who
support ODF.
