openoffice.org2 package unable to print brochures

[Lionel Dricot (aka Ploum)]

I saw this a few months ago. I tought it was a "feature".

If you want a capture for your report : http://ploum.fritalk.com/ooo.png
(please send back the adress of your report)


In a lot of things, OOo2 is way worst than OOo1.
Try, for example, to make a 3 rows document, to add a picture and center it
into one of the 3 rows.

Easy in OOo1 (click on picture > align > center), impossible in OOo2 (the
picture will go to the left, resize itself to the size of the paper,
blabla...)

I discussed this "OOo1 is better than 2" subject with an OOo developper. He
asked me to write all things that come to my mind and send it back to him.
But it takes time, there's so much to say... :-(

Please keep me informed about this issue.

PS : is there anyway to print brochures with abiword ? I use Abiword and
then I must always copy/paste into OOo1 to print.
