chart arrows don't save on Impress

I have a flow chart sort of thing where there are boxes of text and arrows going from one box to the next but every time I close the file and re-open it, the arrows are messed up.

This is a major pain.

When I click drag to fix it and export the report to PDF it looks fine but every time I make an edit to the original report, I also have to click drag the arrows.

Any clue why this is happening? The template I used looks fine.

  • Do you save your file as OpenDocument ODF presentation (odp)? Otherwise you should have received a warning to the effect that “saving in this format may lose content/formatting”.
  • Is your flowchart-sort-of-thing drawn in Impress or inserted/pasted from a different app?
  • Did you use the Lines and arrows or the Connectors tool to draw your arrows?
  • Did you use a template that came with LibreOffice, or one you downloaded from elsewhere? Is it an OpenDocument (OTP) template?

If you can attach your file to the question, it would help us to help you.
