I’m working with a very big file with a of pictures, and because of this, I recently started to split my document into several documents in order to use the “Master Document” feature.
But when I import my document some style seems to change and I can’t figure out which one and why…
To be clear here is my last (and simpler) test :
- I create a Master Document.
- I import my first chapter ODT file as sub-document.
- I open the “styles & formatting” window (of the master document) and click the “Load styles” button.
- I import all the style contained in the sub-document I already imported by ticking all options including the “overwrite” option, so that all the “default” styles that wasn’t imported when inserting the sub-document are now imported.
- Here is the result :
(BIG SIZE)
whereas in the original document it looks like this:
(BIG SIZE)
They seems quite similar, but in the master document there is a small space at the top of my “Heading 2” and “Heading 3” which isn’t visible in the original file (I draw a tiny red arrow to represent this space).
That seems like a very tiny problem, but in reality this is radically changing the overall layout of my document and I can’t publish it without fixing this problem…
Here are some hints :
- The “Above paragraph” of my Headings are set to 0.00
- The “Bottom” and “Top” borders are set to 0,25 on the “Heading 2” and 0,15 on the “Heading 3”
- When I increase the top border of the Heading styles in the master document, this space increases, whereas if I do the same in the original document, the Headings remains stick to the top (and the internal border space indeed increased).
Any idea of what I am missing ?
— EDIT —
If you want to check the file, I uploaded a test file HERE.
This is a file with a really minimal content, but nonetheless when I “File / Send / Create Master Document”, it ends up with the same faulty spaces on top of the Headings while they aren’t in the original file.
