DOC which renders poorly

Text is forced below graphics in a document with graphics and text overlayed: - (attached)
http://www.bridgend.gov.uk/web/groups/public/documents/marketing/022769.doc

I don't have a personal copy of Microsoft Office, so I can't test how the document should render or behave, such as whether the 'tick-boxes' should be interactive.

However, if they should, resolution of this bug may partly depend upon Bug 91384.

Expected behaviour:
Document renders consistently across all pages, with graphics and text overlaid.

Actual behaviour:
Page 1 renders graphics, with text being forced onto a second page.
Page 4 renders disjointedly, particularly the "Professional Membership" boxes.
Pages 6-9 render the tick-boxes mis-aligned or behind text-boxes.
Pages 8-9 mis-aligned section titles.

Well, this is an inventive way of making a pretty form! The entire page is overlaid with a transparent picture - with the normal text placed "just right".

While pretty, it is a recipe for interop disaster, font disaster, version disaster, etc.

It actually looks amazingly good in DOCX format.

I can't figure out why section 2 decides it needs to start on the next page. I'm guessing it is just a layout glitch, although it might be triggered some how by the full-page image anchored in a different section. (If I remove the image, change the view to "Web view" and then change back, the text flows back to page 1.)

Dear Matthew Millar,

To make sure we're focusing on the bugs that affect our users today, LibreOffice QA is asking bug reporters and confirmers to retest open, confirmed bugs which have not been touched for over a year.

There have been thousands of bug fixes and commits since anyone checked on this bug report. During that time, it's possible that the bug has been fixed, or the details of the problem have changed. We'd really appreciate your help in getting confirmation that the bug is still present.

If you have time, please do the following:

Test to see if the bug is still present with the latest version of LibreOffice from https://www.libreoffice.org/download/

If the bug is present, please leave a comment that includes the information from Help - About LibreOffice.
 
If the bug is NOT present, please set the bug's Status field to RESOLVED-WORKSFORME and leave a comment that includes the information from Help - About LibreOffice.

Please DO NOT

Update the version field
Reply via email (please reply directly on the bug tracker)
Set the bug's Status field to RESOLVED - FIXED (this status has a particular meaning that is not 
appropriate in this case)


If you want to do more to help you can test to see if your issue is a REGRESSION. To do so:
1. Download and install oldest version of LibreOffice (usually 3.3 unless your bug pertains to a feature added after 3.3) from https://downloadarchive.documentfoundation.org/libreoffice/old/

2. Test your bug
3. Leave a comment with your results.
4a. If the bug was present with 3.3 - set version to 'inherited from OOo';
4b. If the bug was not present in 3.3 - add 'regression' to keyword


Feel free to come ask questions or to say hello in our QA chat: https://web.libera.chat/?settings=#libreoffice-qa

Thank you for helping us make LibreOffice even better for everyone!

Warm Regards,
QA Team
