[Issue 126079] New: Improving text+frames flow
https://issues.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=126079
Issue ID: 126079
Issue Type: DEFECT
Summary: Improving text+frames flow
Product: Writer
Version: 4.1.1
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: P3
Component: formatting
Assignee: issues@openoffice.apache.org
Reporter: pehache.7@gmail.com
Hi,
Let's assume the following situation :
Page 1
* Paragraph 1
* Frame (anchored as character, so non-floatting)
* Paragraph 2
If all of this is progressively shifted down, at a moment there is no longer
enough space for the Frame on the page 1, and we get :
Page 1
* Paragraph 1
* (empty space)
Page 2
* Frame
* Paragraph 2
Instead, I would like the same behavior than can be found in LaTeX or
FrameMaker:
Page 1
* Paragraph 1
* beginning of Paragraph 2
Page 2
* Frame
* end of paragraph 2 (if applicable)
And it has to be fully automatic, without manual adjustment, whatever the
modifications that can shift up or down this sequence.
I've tried all possible combinations of anchoring/text adaption in the frame
settings, but none of them does. After investigations on forums, it looks like
it's simply not possible (and it is not possible neither in Open Office nor in
MS Office).
This features is actually a must-have for long technical documents that include
many figures, tables, etc...

I don't see what this enhancement can do.
For long documents, you could use master document.
To dispose some text and image, you can use a table.
Could you provide a sample file (PDF) to show this?

Sure... The issue is indeed that there is currently no anchoring option that
can produce the behavior that I expect.

The belongs to its own paragraph, so between paragraphs 1 and 2 there is indeed
another paragraph that contains a single "character" (the frame).

The description is not exact enough. You do not tell to which paragraph this
frame-character belongs. Is it a character of paragraph 1 or a character of
paragraph 2 or is it a character of a paragraph between paragraph 1 and
paragraph 2?
If you want, that the surrounding text floats before the frame, then "anchor as
character" is surely wrong. "anchor as character" means that the frame is
treated as character. And you would not expect that a character moves from the
beginning of a paragraph to the middle of a paragraph, when there happens to be
a page break.
There exist still problems in handling page breaks, see bug 101976 and bug
10634.
Nevertheless, your wish for something like "vertical optimal" is valid. I set
issue type to enhancement.

Example of the desired text flow
It is common practice. In the attached scan you can see, that "Figure 2-6"
belongs to the second last paragraph of page 61. The figure itself is at top of
page 62 because it does not fit under its paragraph on page 61. The empty space
after the second last paragraph of page 61 is filled with the next paragraph.
Getting such text flow automatically, would be a useful enhancement.
