WHy is the z-order being ignored in...

[David Thielen]

Hi;

In the file http://www.windwardreports.com/temp/bad_zorder.zip are two
almost identical docx files. In report_bad.docx it is ignoring the
z-order of the bitmap and textbox on page 4 putting the bitmap below
the textbox.

Why? I can't see anything that would cause it to do this.

thanks - dave

Hello Dave,

Good day! I do the following steps in my side and manage to bring the
bitmap to front.

1. I open the report.bad.docx document in my side
2. Navigate to the page 4 and move the TextBox a bit off, so that we can
see the bitmap
3. Select the bitmap, so that we will see the "Format" tab
4. Navigate to the "Format" tab and click the "Bring to Front" button in
the "Arrange" group

Is this what you want? If you have any questions or concerns, please update
and I will do a follow up.

Hi;

I can do that too. My question is why is it behind in the bad document
as the z-order in the .docx file should place it above the text. We
need to know what is wrong in the docx as our program generates the
file.

I have spent hours trying to figure out why it is ignoring the z-order
but cannot solve the issue.

thanks - dave

Hello Dave,

I find that this issue is caused from the first pair of picture and
textbox. The relativeHeight and z-index are changed to 1 and 0 manually.
But in the report.good.docx, they are 251656192 and 251655168. So I modify
the report.bad.docx's first relativeHeight to 251656192, and the first
z-index to 251655168. It works.

I think we need to use large scale numbers for each image or textbox's
relativeHeight or z-index. When using relativeHeight 100100, 100400 for the
two images and the z-index 100000, 100300 for the two textboxs. The
generated document appears as expected.

Please download my sample document here, and hope that helps.

Please let me know if this addresses your concern. Have a nice day Dave!

Hi;

Thank you. Playing with this some more it looks like it has to be a
difference of 1024 or more.

thanks - dave
