The last couple of days we have started seeing extra link breaks are created when the links are removed. This was working well until last few days. See below additional details
In the attached image, on the left, we don’t see extra div. But on the right, we see an extra div element. This was not present before.
Were there any updates pushed that changed this functionality?
Please let me know if you need any other information

I have lots of images on lots of pages that are all page-anchored. I want to insert a page before them all. But inserting a regular page break doesn't do it. It just bumps up the text, not the page-anchored images. Is this possible?
In most cases, it's not recommended to anchor images to the page. Instead, anchor to a paragraph and then position the image on the page.
Page-anchored images are fixed to a particular page, or you may think of it as a particular page number and the numbering does not change. This behavior has been reported as a bug. However, according to Mike Kaganski (a LO developer), it is not a bug but is intended behavior.

I am dynamically generating Word documents from data in a database. In the generation I need to have the First Page of a section have a different top margin than the other pages in the section. For reason that would take too long to explain properly, I can't just create a new section with a different top margin.
To get around my problem I thought I would create a shape (rectangle) with no border and no fill (invisible) that was the height I wanted my margin to be. I would then place it absolutely at (0,0). I would also make it wrapTopAndBottom so that it pushed the text in the body of the page down. This is working... except for one small problem.
As you can see there is a large, blank area immediately after my shape. There are actual blank lines there. You can see the lines better in this image where I've put text in those lines.
When I look at the header xml file in the Word archive, those lines don't exist. I'm not sure where they are coming from or how to get rid of them. I can manually remove them using Word but every time I regenerate the file they get put back in there. If someone knows why this is happening and / or how to get around it, I'd appreciate the help.
Thanks.
I finally figured this out.
Sorry I couldn't post code up here. First, I'm not using C#, I'm using PHP. Second, the amount of code I'd have to post to show how the header is getting created is prohibitive on a forum like this. Third, I'm not really allowed to post the company's code up here.
In any case, the problem was simple once I saw it. We are placing multiple absolutely positioned objects (shapes, text, images, whatnot) inside the header. In the class that creates these objects each one was being placed inside a <w:p> element. For example, if there were 3 such objects, the XML looked like this.
<hdr>
<p>Some Object</p>
<p>Some Object</p>
<p>Some Object</p>
</hdr>
The problem is that even though each of the objects inside the <p> are absolutely positioned, the <p> element itself creates a line and space for that line. So the header above would have 3 blank lines in it. This became an issue if the header had 6 or 7 objects because the blank lines would push the header's margin down and force the page's content down as well. This was undesired behavior.
The solution is simple. All the absolutely positioned objects can be placed in the same <p> element. This leaves only 1 blank line in the header no matter how many objects you have.
I'm having a problem with a Microsoft Word document. My document has at least 60 pictures that's why I have a table of contents for all those pictures. Recently I have replaced one of the images and now the table of contents is showing a reference to a picture that does not exist in the document. I can't find it anywhere.
This is what is happening. I have a reference to a Figure 11 that does not exist. I've already updated the entire document references and still no luck. I've also hold the Ctrl button and clicked on the reference which leads to nowhere. Just for the record, I have the track changes setting on.
Does anyone know how to fix this?
Ok guys I've realized that this problem was realated to the Track Changes setting being on. Since MS Word was keeping track of all changes, when removing a picture you need to Right Click the area where that removal happened and press Accept Removal.
We have a company 'letterhead' template with all company info in a left column/sidebar. I'd like to lock that section for editing, but still retain the option to edit and/or mail merge the rest of the document as normal. I've tried the Restrict Editing feature, but that seems like the opposite function of what I need; I'd like to specify a section that is not editable, as opposed to a section that is.
The main problem is that the mailmerge/add-envelope function is disabled when Restrict Editing is on, but also adding a section break to a second page (to change to a single-column format on subsequent pages) isn't allowed either.
I've considered just creating an image of the left sidebar, but that seems hacky. Does anyone have any other suggestions on this one?
Much appreciated

I opted for a combo of ideas, and used your [Cindy] last suggestion to bury an image in the first-page header. The table/content control seemed too complicated. Yes, it's a hacky solution, but with the wrapping options to prevent text over the image, it's like a margin without having to set them, so I can get rid of the multi-column and Restrict Editing thing, and subsequent pages are completely normal without extra section break necessary. I appreciate the responses. Thanks!
I have a Crystal XI Release 2 report that my client wants to see on two pages. He wants the report to print the demographic information such as (name, address, etc...) for a person on the first page and the totals for the person need to print on the second page. The first page will include as many rows as will fit and the second page will have the same amount of rows which correspond one for one to the first page. Then the third page will contain a new page of people starting where the first ended.
He basically is looking for printing similar to how Excel prints (and please don't tell me to Export to Excel and print from there).
I came up with two ideas for doing this, but only got anywhere with one. The first was to run two reports (one for the demographic info and the other for the totals) which would be collated together somehow. I didn't get very far with this, but I didn't spend a ton of time researching this so I still think this could be an option.
The second way was to extend the report design to the width of two landscape pages, add my fields, and then change my page size back to a single landscape size before I get ready to print. This way sorta works, but can cause some weird issues. One is that if you try to edit/add a field on the second page when the report size is set to a single page landscape the fields are moved to the far right of the first page which makes sense because I would think that is supposed to be the editable region of the designer so I'd assume you're not supposed to have fields outside of this region.
All in all, the second way works, but I know there has to be a better way to do this. I wanted to see if anyone has had a similar request or have some other ideas on a better way to do this. Thanks
I can't think of an easy way to do this in Crystal.
You could get all hacky on the datasource and duplicate every 20(or however many fit on one page) rows. Then you would set up 2 details sections, one section for demographics and the other for totals. Then conditionally suppress them depending on remainder(pagenumber, 2).
Or you could use a subreport that accepts paging parameters and only returns 20 rows per page. But I'm not even sure if you can link a subreport parameter to the pagenumber special field.
How does your second way work? The extra fields just get printed on the next page somehow? However, the problem is that the fields stay outside the designer when you go back to one page and if you need to edit they all move back inside the designer? Couldn't you increase the page width before editing? That's not too bad if it somehow prints it out correctly every time.
I guess I will mark this as the answer since I still haven't been able to figure out a better way around it. If anyone finds a better way then post a response and if it works I think can toggle the answer.
What I do to get around this is to set my printer to the "Microsoft Office Document Image Writer" and then change the width to the widest it will allow which is 36". Then I put the demographic information from the beginning of the section to around 11" and put the totals stating just to the right of where the first section ended and go for another page width.
Then I make whatever changes that I need to make and set the printer back to the printer I want to use for the correct size. After you do this you will find that the editable area only extends to the first page, but you can see the second page of fields to the right. If you try to edit a field on the second page the field will move to the far right of the editable region which is at the far right of the first page so make sure you reset your printer before making edits.
I think I also had to play around with the width of the detail section on the layout tab of the section expert to get the report to print correctly. I set it to the combined size of the 2 pages for mine to look correct.
I think that this is probably a super rare issue, but if you are having a similar issue, that is how I get around it.
