Description: Hi I define a full page background image in writer by 1. View->Styles 2. Click on page tab -> create styele and then on bitmap 3. Import bitmap and save with name 4. Apply as a custom size with dimensions of 21 cm x 30 cm This adds the image and I can export it as a pdf with the image When I save, close and reopen the docx file the image has disappeared and I have to re-create the style and import the image etc Steps to Reproduce: 1. View->Styles 2. Click on page tab -> create styele and then on bitmap 3. Import bitmap and save with name 4. Apply as a custom size with dimensions of 21 cm x 30 cm 5. save and close 6. reopen Actual Results: reopen the docx file the image has disappeared and I have to re-create the style and import the image etc Expected Results: ThHe image should still be there as a BG Reproducible: Always User Profile Reset: No Additional Info: Version: 6.3.0.2 (x64) Build ID: 728469fa359ba8c83d812146293a0b0aa53945ba CPU threads: 4; OS: Windows 10.0; UI render: default; VCL: win; Locale: en-GB (en_GB); UI-Language: en-GB Calc: threaded
I confirm it with Version: 6.4.0.0.alpha0+ (x64) Build ID: 8f98a7c4e5b1f0b249c026577805a378b8a533d5 CPU threads: 4; OS: Windows 10.0; UI render: GL; VCL: win; TinderBox: Win-x86_64@42, Branch:master, Time: 2019-07-23_00:30:19 Locale: de-DE (de_DE); UI-Language: en-US Calc: threaded Also happens with other sizes of the bitmap.
The background bitmap DOES remain when the doc is saved in .odt format but not in docx format, if that's any help. If that means that it's not a bug after all, then I'm very sorry!
This is DOCX bug that started with LO 3.3 in which export was added. Background of saved DOCX is not read in LO nor in MSO. DOC is better, background is fine read in MSO meaning that export is fine. If original was saved as Tiled, LO opens it as Stretched. That can be another fileopen bug.
Same with LO 7.1.3.2. Agreeing with the two last comments : background is lost when exporting to DOCX, but not to DOC.
I saw a related report by an openSUSE user. Their report does not require using a style, simply - right click - Page Style - Area - Bitmap and the same observations: completely lost with DOCX, stretched with DOC. (Cf. https://bugzilla.suse.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1133169 )

I can confirm with Version: 7.3.4.2 / LibreOffice Community Build ID: 30(Build:2) CPU threads: 8; OS: Linux 5.15; UI render: default; VCL: kf5 (cairo+xcb) Locale: id-ID (id_ID.UTF-8); UI: id-ID Ubuntu package version: 1:7.3.4~rc2-0ubuntu0.20.04.1~lo1 Calc: threaded

I have tried also with DOC, and the issue persist (page background lost) Version: 7.3.4.2 / LibreOffice Community Build ID: 30(Build:2) CPU threads: 8; OS: Linux 5.15; UI render: default; VCL: kf5 (cairo+xcb) Locale: id-ID (id_ID.UTF-8); UI: id-ID Ubuntu package version: 1:7.3.4~rc2-0ubuntu0.20.04.1~lo1 Calc: threaded
Still here in Version: 7.5.0.0.alpha0+ (x64) / LibreOffice Community Build ID: 0d3dd0aa54ad792f91d0905f3d46c13df3512d89 CPU threads: 4; OS: Windows 10.0 Build 19043; UI render: Skia/Raster; VCL: win Locale: ru-RU (ru_RU); UI: en-US Calc: threaded and this is very annoying
And MS Word just doesn't support this feature So, I even don't know could we fix it with any way... Justin, could you say us your opinion here?

From bug 135331 comment 6 If my memory is correct, DOCX only has a single place to store the page background. So LO takes the Default Page's background and uses that as the colour. In this multi-coloured page-styled example, the default page style is "none". [Indeed, this is what happens for both DOC and DOCX when I change the default page style (even though it is unused) to a blue background. The entire DOCX becomes blue.]
