Move page contents and page anchored items in Writer

Post by JeJe »

OO has page anchored text frames and pictures but no easy way to move them. They can also become out of sync with the page contents when there are additions or deletions to the text.

This simple extension is for more easily moving Writer page contents and page anchored items to other pages assuming they all begin with a paragraph which has a page break before - that makes life easy for us.

Also for moving page anchored elements only (not the contents) from page to page.

Install extension and see help/sample file to test.

Tested in OO only. Expect bugs, always have a back up. Other features could be added and improvements made but this is a start. Probably only useful for small documents.
