Description: The past several times I have established paragraph formatting on a document (specifically, automatic first line indentation), when I have saved and re-opened the file, that formatting has been gone. I'm saving as a docx file (Word 2007-2019). Everything else in the file saves correctly, but not the paragraph formatting. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Set paragraph formatting (automatic first line indentation) 2. Save & close 3. Re-open file Actual Results: Formatting was not saved. Expected Results: Formatting should have been saved. Reproducible: Always User Profile Reset: No Additional Info:
Kevin, thank you for reporting the bug. Please attach a sample document (odt before saving as docx), as this makes it easier for us to verify the bug. I have set the bug's status to 'NEEDINFO'.

This could only work if DOCX knew about automatic. However neither the Word UI, nor the documentation for w:hangingChars or w:firstLine have any provision for a non-specific value. One could argue that LO should not just ignore the auto-indent completely on export, but should emulate this by specifying an comparable specific number. However, since this is very dependent on layout characteristics, it would be rather hard to do, and perhaps is best left for the user to specify.
