problem with export to ods #645

Open RoDanny2021 opened 12 months ago

Hello, when I export in ods format, several textboxes appear that are overlapped. why isn't everything exported directly in text format in ods? Without using text boxes

It is in general very difficult to reproduce the text layout without using text-boxes. For simple text layouts, you're better of doing a text export and just importing the text into the word processor.

I understand, but the texts are overlapped and the ods export format becomes useless if they are created incorrectly I tried with ordinary documents. Like scanned book pages and they come out very badly in ods format

Maybe it would be more interesting if each paragraph were a textbox, and you could select the paragraphs graphically on the scanned page. Kind of abby fine reader.
