Description: Hi All, I'm happy to divide this up over multiple bug reports but that'll take more time so hopefully one is enough. This document is from a template that we use in my office for our trial briefs. I was hoping to slowly move to LibreOffice entirely at work but this document shows why that is currently impossible. Problems Listed: (1) Line numbering not respected, in MS Office the first line corresponds with "SUNORNORYSR STYSPTTTXN" in LibreOffice the first line is actually pretty much between these two lines: "ZRysputy ZRrststrrstzt Xttornysy, SXN ttrstt8awertt" & "tttttt TTT. Strysyst, Sursttys rws000" (2) Margins not respected at all - in particular at the bottom, in MS Office there is no overlap into the footer (and beyond) while in LibreOffice text from the body overlaps footer/margin area substantially (3) Related to 2 - I'd imagine largely because of 2, the actual words don't match up to the pages, any court would reject this document if it came from LibreOffice; (4) Footer - completely missing (5) Page # on the bottom center - completely missing (6) Related to 2 and 3 maybe - the actual page count is significantly different. MS Office has the document at 11 pages, LibreOffice has it at 9. Could be entirely due to #2 and #3 I am still looking over the documents but figured this is a good start. Steps to Reproduce: 1.Open attached document in LibreOffice and MS Office 2. Compare the points listed in the description Actual Results: See description. Expected Results: Should be the same product with MSO and LibreOffice Reproducible: Always User Profile Reset: No Additional Info: I honestly think that this qualifies for major as it demonstrates serious interop issues. But I'll leave that to others to judge.
Created attachment 143211 [details] Problematic Document This document shows a few serious interop problems that make doing professional quality work nearly impossible.

Hi Joel, I agree, that compatibility could be improved. But I also think, that it is necessary for you, to open a separate bug report for each issue. One example: If I could confirm problem (1), can't confirm problem (2) and find a duplicate for problem (3) what's the status of the bug. So please open new bug reports. Have you checked for duplicates?
Fair enough. I was part of the project for years so I get it. Unfortunately I don't have the time now to do so, so I'll just continue using Microsoft Office for business needs. Thanks!
As the different issues have been laid out in the initial post, isn't it an idea to submit the same document 6 times, each focused on the corresponding problem? If you're out of time, i'd happily give it a shot.

That would be a big help, Roeland, thank you in advance. Note that you don't have to upload the document each time - you can just refer to the already existing attachments like: attachment 143211 [details] Problematic Document attachment 143212 [details] LibreOffice PDF Export attachment 143213 [details] MS Office PDF Print Do try to search for existing reports before creating the new ones just in case.

Hi Buovjaga, thank you for the advice. I started with the first two. I'll continue later on with the others, if I have some more time to investigate.
