Description brucehatfield 2018-12-17 17:41:53 UTC
Description:
Contracts in Word frequently contain style separators such as for definition clauses. This has been reproduced on page 2 attached Word document. Other problems exist such as conversion of the TOC retaining columns. However the bug in which the odt format file has two lines for each Word single line including style separator renders Libreoffice Writer unusable as this bug results in excessive lines in a document in which it is essential to visually contain information to one page. Also due to discussions referring to page numbers it is not advisable to change the layout area and page numbering. 

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Create Word document with style separator used over on page as in law office/business common practice.
2.Open said Word document with LO Writer.
3.Save in odt format to reveal bugs.

Actual Results:
Major bug in sample document is inability to reproduce Word style separator effect so as to retain single lines containing the information. Double line appearance in Writer means document area is effectively doubles compared to the Word appearance.

Expected Results:
Bug persists with no apparent remedy.


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: Yes



Additional Info:
Retained the style separator information so that the sigle Word lines can be reproduced in Writer.
