Description Sylvain 2019-01-22 03:01:26 UTC
Description:
When I edit a doc in doc format,
1- "edit" style (ie. heading 3) font, size, color, format. edit from menu, edit from drop-down at style listing or select "update to match"...  apply seems to hold, but if you then click "heading 3" from style list, all formatting and style returns to some mystery default.
2- select number, access character formatting and select 'superscript' radio button. Save doc and reopen, superscript is removed and number reverts to 'regular' format throughout entire document..


Steps to Reproduce:
1. select text
2.select heading 3 style
3.select modify style or edit style or edit manually and select "update to match"
4.move cursor focus 
5. reselect text and apply heading 3 style. all modifications lost.
second part
1. select number
2. select character>format
3. select superscript radio button.
4. save document (word) 
5. re-open doc, formatting lost

Actual Results:
see above

Expected Results:
formatting modifications/edits/updates, all lost.


Reproducible: Always

I cannot reproduce either problem when editing and when saving to .doc format.
You are doing this from scratch in LibreOffice or editing some .doc coming from Microsoft Office?

Set to NEEDINFO.
Change back to UNCONFIRMED after you have provided the information.
