Created attachment 162495 [details] Example file from Word Attached file contains a few paragraphs formatted with List Paragraph style in Word. This style has the “Don’t add space between paragraphs of the same style” setting turned on. One of the paragraphs overrides this setting with direct formatting, which is imported correctly in Writer. Saving to DOCX however loses this override. Steps to reproduce: 1. Open attached document and save as DOCX Actual results: Paragraph3 loses its direct format setting of “Don’t add space between paragraphs of the same style” being OFF. Expected results: Direct formatting setting retained.

repro 7.2. Also true for .doc and .rtf formats. I bibisected this to 6.0 IMPORT patch: commit f8b5ecc622e2b3e82576b27bf0ded9c8eac21cae Author: Miklos Vajna on Oct 24 09:27:19 2017 +0200 tdf#113202 RTF import: fix lack of expected contextual spacing HOWEVER, I wasn't comparing with MS Word. MS Word 2016 also does display any spacing. So actually this 6.0 bibisect is a fix. So, if I bibisect using MS Word 2016 as the verifier, then I confirm NISZ's conclusion that it was in broken at LO 4.2 with: commit 33e97347ac5b1a3206ddcc2c8313c7e88461bb0b Author: Jan Holesovsky on Oct 9 14:39:35 2013 +0200 DOCX export: Write contextualSpacing only if it takes place. https://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/core/commit/?id=33e97347ac5b1a3206ddcc2c8313c7e88461bb0b So the fix here will be to see if it inherits contextualspacing == true, and in that case write out a false. (see https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/c/core/+/106315 for a similar case for character properties.) P.S. At this point, MSWord shows RTF with no spacing - same as with 7.2. However, DOC has spacing between every single one of the first five paragraphs (which was mysteriously fixed shortly thereafter in the range https://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/core/log/?id=33e97347ac5b1a3206ddcc2c8313c7e88461bb0b&qt=range&q=ff3b823ef4b867263711703fab596584314e4f58..fdba797bd9c2a3fe4de82f92c3ee815c15f8ac84)
RTF has "\contextualspace", but no negation of that. So I don't think it is possible to cancel in RTF. (In MS Word, it removes \contextualspace from the string of formatting in front of Paragraph3.) Proposed fix at https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/c/core/+/113064
