Version: 1.2.90 (using KDE 3.1.1) Installed from: compiled sources Compiler: gcc version 3.3 20030226 (prerelease) (SuSE Linux) OS: Linux (i686) release 2.4.20-4GB-athlon Select style "HEADING" and insert a page brake before line --> There's a space between the top page margin and the heading In my opinion (I'm probably M$ biased), this space (Paragraph space - Before (mm) in Style manager) should be removed when the line is on a new page, but it isn't. If this isn't a bug, the default HEADING style should be redefined so that it doesn't have a "space before". Pascal

Special cases are always confusing, when things don't work the way you specify... > If this isn't a bug, the default HEADING style should be redefined so that it doesn't have a "space before". There is no style called HEADING in the templates provided by KWord. The styles are called "Head 1", "Head 2" etc. and there is no "space before" associated with them. Where does your HEADING style come from?
>Where does your HEADING style come from? Hmmm, I see, this HEADING then was imported from M$ Word via OpenOffice Writer and RTF export. But the question remains, if there's a style with a "space before">0, should it be ignored at the start of the page? I think it should. Pascal

>Does OOWriter do that? Yes, OOWriter removes the top spacing/margin if the line is at the start of the page. M$Word does the same. So KWord should probably do the same ;-) Pascal
Subject: koffice CVS commit by faure: Don't apply top margin at top of page (or after any break, e.g. skipping a frame). Apparently OOo and MSWord do this too. (Technically this means applying adjustFlow() on the breakable part of the top margin) I wonder what happens with "bottom of margin" (of previous paragraph), can it get truncated, too, so that the next parag is at the top of the next page? (Can't test, my OOo is currently broken, shows no font at all even in the GUI, so the menus are unreadable...)

Hmm I just tested both OOo and msword, and they both apply the top margin even on the first paragraph of a page. I shouldn't trust what people tell me.... Can you have another look and confirm? Either we're testing something different, or both OOo and msword have changed, which is doubtful....
Created attachment 16137 [details] testcase for OOo
The way this works now (in KWord2 at least) is the following A paragraph at start of page with: * style with paragraph space before is show at page top * paragraph-specific settings for space before is honoured * style with space before AND the boolean to show it on a new page is honoured. In the case that both the format and the style have space before; the one from the paragraph is used regardless. I consider this bug fixed.
