Created attachment 131931 [details] The problematic document with header position set Attached document has a header position set as 3 cm from top, but in LO 5.3 this setting becomes the page margin from top, creating a lot larger empty space than in Word 2013.
Created attachment 131932 [details] The document in LO 5.3 and Word 2010 side by side
Reproduced with 5.3.0.3 / Windows 7, but only with default rendering, and not on Ubuntu 16.04, either.
Wrong report...
Can not reproduce. On Windows 10 Pro 64-bit en-US with Version: 5.3.1.2 (x64) Build ID: e80a0e0fd1875e1696614d24c32df0f95f03deb2 CPU Threads: 8; OS Version: Windows 6.19; UI Render: GL; Layout Engine: new; Locale: en-US (en_US); Calc: group The Header layout/spacing is the same LO 5.3.1 and MS Word 2007
I can see that there's a much larger gap above the header (also below the header) in LO 5.3.0.3 than in Word 2013, just like in the screenshots. Note that in Word there are different settings for the first page, the 3 cm / 1.5 cm header/footer seem to be coming directly from there.

Created attachment 143144 [details] Screenshot in current 6.2 master and Word 2010 While the EMF header looks much better, the top/bottom margin values are still overwritten by header/footer sizes.
Created attachment 143148 [details] Header settings when opened in current master build What's maybe not obvious from the screenshot: the original document has "First page different" checked and "Even and odd different" not checked. Opening the file in LO, both "Same content on left and right pages" and "Same content on first page" are checked.
Several problems here. The first problem to deal with is that the first page is not receiving the "First Page" pagestyle. That is related to the super tiny floating table as the first item in the document. Removing that table results in the first page style showing up. see commit 2e8aad6d45c53d554ccaf26de998ede708cfc289 Author: Vinaya Mandke CommitDate: Thu Apr 24 12:57:51 2014 +0200 fdo#39056 fdo#75431 Section Properties if section starts with table (Emulation is creating first/follow pages styles instead of different firstpage header in the same style. That is normal, and necessary because the way Word and LO handle sections is completely different. So no worries about comment 10. And that leads to the First/Follow page being totally different. This is something LO simply cannot do, and gets pretty confusing. In Word, what you see on page 1 is the first-page header for section 1. Because of continuous section breaks the follow-page header is never seen, and neither is the first-page header for section 2. Page 2 displays the follow-page header of section 2. (LO has nothing comparable to continuous sections. Since there is no page break, LO has no way of knowing when to switch to the next page style[Converted2].) This is a CANTFIX. Dynamic height is also at play in the header size, but that seems to be legitimate.

The "fix" doesn't break any of them though, so not sure why some worked anyway - my guess is that they didn't have a blank paragraph in the first cell. Already OK: 1_page.docx, n780853.docx, table-row-data-displayed-twice.docx, test_segfault_while_save.docx Fixed: n779642.docx, floating-tables-anchor.docx
Justin Luth committed a patch related to this issue. It has been pushed to "master": http://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/core/commit/?id=9202597373f745b7b83dde1396636e1e619e4e81 tdf#106572 writerfilter: don't write to dummy paragraph It will be available in 6.2.0. The patch should be included in the daily builds available at http://dev-builds.libreoffice.org/daily/ in the next 24-48 hours. More information about daily builds can be found at: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Testing_Daily_Builds Affected users are encouraged to test the fix and report feedback.
(In reply to Justin L from comment #11) > Several problems here. Is it OK to close this bug report? I would rate the header problem as unfixable (unless someone wants to hire a senior programmer for a year to re-write writer internals with a continuous section enhancement) and there are many bug reports already with this as the root cause. The dynamic spacing issue could be somewhat unique, but it probably related to anchor issues which again exists in countless bug reports. Anyway, I've already convinced myself with that paragraph, so I'll mark it as fixed.

Thanks for the fix! Also thanks for estimating the way to properly fix this, I'll show this my bosses :).
