I generate a report from a .odt template with a header and a footer (different from many sections - first page and the others). When i drag’n drop my UML element, i can see my headers and footers filled corrrectly with the values coming from the tempalte dialog box.
When i save my report, and reopen it, the header from page 2 to more has desepeared and the footer is modified with the first page one.
It looks like only the header and footer from the first page was stored. But when i define it manually with the Basic Template it works fine.
What we must do in the template to have 2 or more version of headers and footer.
Would you mind sending the template file (.odt) you used to my colleague Rain’s mail box ( rain@visual-paradigm.com ) so that we can investigate the problem? Thanks in advance!
Thanks for your file. I’ve forwarded the details to our engineers to investigate. If there is any news about this issue, I’ll come back to you at once.
We have tested on your template and found that the header/footer disappear right after open it with Open Office and save as a new template. May I know what version of Open Office you used to create the template and how you create the header?
I use OpenOffice 3.0 (just release a few week ago) and i use a pregenerated odt document for Visual paradigm (from Basic Tempalte) that i have modified with OpenOffice 3.0.
Thanks for replying. We think the problem is caused by your template. We believe it will be solved after you fixing your template. BTW, since Report Writer is based on Open Office 2, I suggest you modify the template with Open Office 2 and it may help.
