|
I need to break up drawings which contanis lines and text. The version of openoffice 1 was the last which was able to do that correctly. Neooffice and still openoffice 3 are not able to do that. What happens? The text becames small and unreadable after breaking up the drawing. Can you help me?

I deleted your other post on an older thread, since it was a duplicate of this one.
I'm sorry I don't know the answer to your question, but I'm sure someone else will be able to help you.

Hi Bernard,
It might help us to help you if you can attach post some sample documents to this thread to indicate what you are trying to do. A document with the drawing, then a document with the drawing broken up and a step-by-step guide to how you made the change.
Instructions for adding attachments are in this thread |

If you can give us as much of the information that James3359 lists in his post, I am hoping that we can figure out what steps NeoOffice's underlying OpenOffice.org 3.0.1 code are needed to do what you are trying to do.
Sun Microsystems' OpenOffice.org engineers made a huge number of feature changes in both OpenOffice.org 2.0 and 3.0 releases so I am not suprised that steps that worked in OpenOffice.org 1.x do not work in NeoOffice or OpenOffice.org 3.x. Hopefully, they have only changed the steps and we can figure out what those new steps are.

I send you the document with the test drawings. OO3 seems to work much better, but it cannot work well with drawings which comes from OO1.

Thank you for the sample document. In the first page of the document, I see 4 text lines just above the graph that have really small text. Are these text lines the lines that you are having problems with? If yes, I found what is causing the problem: NeoOffice's underlying OpenOffice.org is adding a "border spacing" settings in each of these text lines.
You can fix these text lines by doing the following steps. Do these steps fix the text lines for you?:
1. Control-click on a text line and, in the popup menu that appears, select the Text option
2. In the dialog that appears, click on the Text tab, change all 4 values in the of the "Spacing to borders" section to 0, and press the OK button
3. Repeat the above two steps for each text line.
