Description NISZ LibreOffice Team 2020-05-12 12:18:56 UTC
Created attachment 160718 [details]
Example file from Word

Attached document contains a text box with page number inserted from Word using the Header / Footer tools -> Page number -> On page margin -> Page X -> Emphasized band on the left. 
When opening this file in Writer, the text box horizontal size grows significantly.
Same preset has a right side variant, which works: relative width from right margin opens with correct size.


Steps to reproduce:
    1. Open attached document 
    2. Or insert a custom Word page number field with:
    3. Header / Footer tools -> Page number -> On page margin -> Page X -> Emphasized band, save document and open in Writer

Actual results:
Text box is almost as wide as the page instead of about 2cm.

Expected results:
Narrow box at the left margin.

I see the same error with the page number in the right margin.

It is an import error. Neither ODF (current 1.3) nor LibreOffice have means to express the width relative to the page margin, but the width is always a fixed length. So the relative value of Word should be transformed in a fixed length during import. You might keep the fact, that it is relative in Word in the operability bag, so that you can recreate the percent value on export to docx.

The position as relative to "right margin" is interpreted correctly and can be written to ODF without problems.

In case you intend to extend LibreOffice so, that width of objects (which objects?) can be set relative to a reference (which references?) please write a feature request for ODF for review here before finishing the implementation.

@Szabolcs, Balázs: it seems, LO has already supported this in most of the use cases, see lo-ext "layout-attribute" in https://issues.oasis-open.org/browse/OFFICE-3854, and the related code parts.
