[frank_weber]

A hello at you forum users,

I would like to announce myself as a new member in the forum
and also equal a question bring along:) .
I work with the Mac Port of OpenOffice, Neooffice 2,1 Patch 7, my problem am situated however think I at the roots from OpenOffice. I have a data
base created with a table and a form. This form I have to the better Handling modified of adapted stilesize, position and writing colour of the fields. After closing the form in the processing mode and complete all fields open to the form in the opinion and input mode are all fields completely to the lefthand side shifted, thus also one above the other.
I have the individual fields at the page embodied and also in the menu "position & size" both points are safed.
Nevertheless all fields come again into "disorder" after storing.
What do I make false? Does someone know the problem or even its
solution?

Thanks for your work and a nice day

Welcome -
Can you test your database file in OpenOffice 2.1 X11?
Does the problem still exist?

hi mickeyinlalaland,

the database (form) i have testet in OpenOffice 2.3.0 aqua, that is nativ under OSX. The Form ist OK but one field jumps to the left pagesite.
If i the form opened then in NeoOffice the Form ist still Ok even the first field stay right side.
If i open the Form then in edit mode, save and reopen all fields in disorder .

I think the Problem is not only Neooffice but it is bigger in NeoOffice.

Greatings

NeoOffice 2.1 is based on OpenOffice.org 2.1, NeoOffice has integrated dozens of native Mac features. Yet some errors are do due to the fact that the error exists in OOo 2.1 code.

You cannot compare programming similarities to OOo 2.3 - which by the way is only a snapshot of it's development to a specific date - that it is not an officially released application and comes with the warning: "there are no guarantees."

If your error persists in OOo 2.1; then you would have take your issue to the developers at OpenOffice.org.

If your issue is not duplicated in OOo 2.1; then you should continue posting here.

BTW: Did you create the form in OOo 2.3?

Hi mickeyinlalaland,

surely your Note is correctly. I have the OpenOffice aqua version 2.3 only installed for testing. I will download the correctly version of OpenOffice that gives the roots of NeoOffice an then i will test and give an answer to the questions Ok?

Thanks and greetings.

frank, just remember that you have to install X11 to use OpenOfice.org 2.1 for Mac OS X (which isn't native like the 2.3 snapshot). An X11 installation how-to is available here :

now i`ve installed OpenOffice 2.1 an opend the database. Form is displayed ok, fields on the right place. Now i change a little Field at right and back, then safe and close the form and the database on ooo 2.1 under x11. Open Neooffice 2.1, open the database an the form - all fields are in disorder
I open the database and form in ooo 2.1 under x11 it works fine

If it works in OpenOffice.org X11 2.1 but not in NeoOffice 2.1, then you should file a bug in BugZilla and attach a document that reproduces the bug.
