Modified version of the file filled with text in Word and Writer

Looks like Word actually hides the empty footer. The setting is preserved, but hidden from view.

Filling up the document with text, saving it and opening in Writer has the same layout as in Word.

So maybe this is not a terribly huge loss.

Hello NISZ Team,
I've checked with previous versions and the behaviour is the same in master and in previous versions. Could you please explain what got fixed ?
