Thanks for bugreport Please, do not save documents in docx format using LibreOffcie. Or information will be lost. Dear John, DATA LOSS is the worst of all possible failures. You will have to attach such a document so that the error can be reproduced and tested, otherwise this bug is of little help to get this fixed. Created attachment 72790 [details]
docx file that exhibits the bug
This document clearly reveals the truncation bug with docx files.
This bug also exist in 3.6.1.2 on MacOSX Also true for LibreOffice 3.5.7.2 (Build ID: 350m1(Build:2)) on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS. Confirmed with the file attached here (from 16 pages to 9 after edit and save (+close and open)) and also one other file I cannot share created in not specified version of MS Word. Current version of LibreOffice is 4.1, can someone test it with this version? The other comments should probably go to one of these reports at LibreOffice Bugzilla: https://www.libreoffice.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=43780 https://www.libreoffice.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=46025 in 4.0 and 4.1.1 on Fedora RFR 64 bit document is not truncated after saving into docx and reloading, as I can see. But document formatting in some places becomes corrupted. I am using "Version: 4.1.4.2", "Build ID: Gentoo official package". The document in comment 3 does not seem to get truncated for me. However, libreoffice just truncated my ~22 pages document to seven pages. I believe I cannot share the .docx file, unfortunately. I am not familiar with the .docx format but it appears that after unzipping it and stripping all the markup from word/document.xml, most of the text is still kind of there. Meanwhile, other .docx consumers refuse to open the file at all. Ignore me, I think I wanted #55820 Hi all, while I see some odd behavior and slight differences when comparing the test document in Word2010 and LO 4.2.0.1 pages are the same amount. Next I tried resaving to a new docx file. Then compared the two LO files (existing docx and newly created docx from test file), they are identical. Thus setting to WORKSFORME. I know similar issues do appear occasionally but with 4.2.0.1 and this test file it seems to no longer happen, so I suggest, if any of you run into a similar problem please make sure to create a new bug and we can start a new investigation of what's going on. this problem is still in versions 3.5 A 29 pages .docx file saved with that extension and reopened only includes 7 pages Checked in 4.4.1.2 No Problems (In reply to Salvador from comment #10) > this problem is still in versions 3.5 > A 29 pages .docx file saved with that extension and reopened only includes 7 > pages Version 3.5 is obsolete. It would be different, if you would see the problem in versions 4.3.6 to 4.4.1. Setting back to WFM per other comments in 2015. |
