Comment 7 Petr Mladek 2012-01-23 09:59:14 UTC
I wonder if the pictures are in a special format. Objects added via the "Drawings" toolbar are saved correctly. So, the missing objects must be something special.

I add some experts on drawings export into CC.

simplified testcase

In this attachment only one text frame and one line inside
Somebody managed place drawing object, anchored as character, inside of text frame.
Comment 10 user6 2012-01-26 11:56:18 UTC
As I understand it was drawn in Word as a vector graphics and then I imported it to LO. (You can edit each element during LO; so I wonder why format is meaningful)

if I copy several vector boxes outside text frame then it reproduced partially.

i.e. vector objects inside text frame are not exported to .doc.

best example of input file

Attached file is created in LO from scratch.
There is one vector object inside box/incut.
And there is one object outside it.

So during exporting to .doc, the object inside box is not saving.

Comment 15 Rainer Bielefeld Retired 2012-05-31 09:16:42 UTC
Same result with "input file".

@Igor:
Can you confirm that only Drawing shapes !in Frame! are affected?
Comment 16 user6 2012-06-07 09:52:21 UTC
Yes, I confirm, only in frame drawing is affected.

Still happens in 4.1.3.2

Here are some easy step to reproduce without any special files
1. Create a new Writer document
2. Create a new Drawing
3. In the drawing, draw a rectangle
4. select the rectangle and copy it (ctrl-c)
5. in the writer document, paste the drawing (ctrl-v)
6. in writer, right-click the rectangle and select "Caption"
7. Click ok in the caption dialog
8. Save as a Word .doc document
9. Reload the file using File->Reload

Comment 32 sdc.blanco 2019-10-28 12:03:56 UTC
Confirm that the problem still exists.
Followed procedure in comment 25.
The area color is lost (because the shape is lost), and the caption moves to the top of the frame (because the shape is lost).

Further information (and better procedure)

1.  Do not need to make a Drawing document as described in comment 25, can just draw a shape into a new document.  (but I tried both versions with same result).

2. Followed the procedure, while watching the "Navigator" window.
    a.  Creating (or copying) a shape gives an Shape1 under Drawing Objects
    b.  Inserting a Caption creates a Frame1 under Textframes
    c.  Save .doc  and reload.
    d.  The shapes are now lost (i.e., do not appear in Navigator), but the text frames remain. 

3.  If the document is saved as .docx, then the shape is lost, but now the Frame1 moves from "Text Frame" to stand under "Drawing Objects" in Navigator.

It makes sense to not be able to keep the shape anchored inside the frame, as the frame is converted to a drawing object when saving as DOCX. But I don't reproduce what you see: the shape is kept, just anchored to a page's paragraph instead.

The DOC filter should do the same.
(Note that Office 365 (online) also loses the shape on importing the ODT.)

Shape moves erronously when saved as docx
Comment 39 Alex 2024-06-30 13:07:48 UTC
Hi,

I can reproduce this bug using the steps in Comment 25.

Reloads fine as an odt. I reproduce the disappearance when saving as a doc. I'll also add that if saving and reloading as a docx, the graphic is saved but moves erroneously. See image "Shape moves erroneously when saved as docs".

Hope that helps.
