Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 61126
select-all missing page-anchored images
Last modified: 2013-08-07 14:38:26 UTC
When doing select-all (Ctrl+A), any images that are anchored to the page are not selected, and so are not present when doing a copy-paste cycle.
Created attachment 33533 [details] document with embedded image anchored to page
Further note: this is a problem whether trying to copy-paste into the same document, or to copy-paste into a completely different document. If this is not considered a bug for some reason, I would find a "copy page" function a useful function, since I frequently need to copy pages between different documents to join them together.
Currently this works as designed. Only objects which are anchored in the text can be added to a selection. But it seems that it is quite unintuitive, so we should have a solution for this by time.
