Description Jo-Jo 2018-01-31 20:25:49 UTC
Description:
Save any .rtf in LO with left justification. When it is opened in MS Word it is fully justified and corrupted in such a way that Word can't change the justification.

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Save any document as in .rtf in LO with left justification
2.Open it in MS Word

Actual Results:  
When document opened in Word it is fully justified and corrupted in such a way that the justification can't be changed.


Expected Results:
Document should remain left justified when viewed in Word.


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No



Additional Info:
I reported this to MS, and they verified it. One of the people from the forums said he would report it to the Office group, but unfortunately he said he didn't think it was likely that they would do anything about it. It could be an Office problem, but I thought I would post this. I would like to use LO, but I can't because I am required to submit the documents I produce in .rtf, and they don't display correctly in Word.

Thank you for reporting the bug.
Could you please try to reproduce it with the latest version of LibreOffice
from https://www.libreoffice.org/download/libreoffice-fresh/ ?
I have set the bug's status to 'NEEDINFO'. Please change it back to
'UNCONFIRMED' if the bug is still present in the latest version.
Comment 3 Jo-Jo 2018-02-02 05:06:13 UTC
I was using 5.1. The behavior is the same on 5.4.4.
Comment 4 Xisco Faulí 2018-02-05 11:49:50 UTC
Could you please attach a sample document in .ODF, as this makes it easier for us to verify the bug.

This bug is specific to .rtf files, and I have already attached an example .rtf.

The following environment did not reproduce the bug.

Version: 6.0.1.1 (x64)

Locale: ja-JP (ja_JP); OS:Winsows7 Home Premium x64
Comment 8 IWAMOTO 2018-02-20 01:25:11 UTC
I'm sorry. I tried again, but the bug was recreated.

It seems that the procedure was wrong.

Comment 11 Silvestr VS 2022-05-04 19:54:32 UTC
Could not reproduce using LO 7.2.6.2

Version: 7.2.6.2 / LibreOffice Community
Build ID: 20(Build:2)
CPU threads: 4; OS: Linux 5.15; UI render: default; VCL: kf5 (cairo+xcb)
Locale: cs-CZ (cs_CZ.UTF-8); UI: cs-CZ
7.2.6-1
Calc: threaded

I created 2 sample files in my daily-driver Writer, saved as RTF with the text left-aligned and with justified (left). In MS Word (365) the alignments were correct in both cases. It was also possible to change paragraph alignment in Word to any of the 4 common ones.
