I'm not sure I see the problem. I always see two columns. (Whether the columns are defined in the page style or in the section should be irrelevant.) Microsoft doesn't have the concept of a page style, just sections, so everything here is just emulation. LO can define columns in both page styles and sections. Importing columns into page styles caused all kinds of problems. I tested both files using LO 6.4.6
(In reply to Justin L from comment #5) > I'm not sure I see the problem. I always see two columns. That's true, but page style dialog shows "1" in columns setting (it should be "2").
(In reply to Dieter from comment #6) > (In reply to Justin L from comment #5) > That's true, but page style dialog shows "1" in columns setting (it should > be "2"). No, it should be 1. The section (Format -> Section -> Options) is where DOCX files define columns, so that is where you will find two columns defined.
NOTABUG. For interoperability, it is better to define columns in section settings, instead of page styles.

Hi Justin, Sorry to nag you ;) Now when you - open the docx, and set the nr of columns to 3 (in Format > Page ;) ) you get 4... - do Ctrl+Shft+R at the bottom there is another column.. A column within another column ? It behaves weird for me. And it did not in older versions.
(In reply to Cor Nouws from comment #9) > Sorry to nag you ;) Now when you > - open the docx, and set the nr of columns to 3 (in Format > Page ;) ) That sounds like a very bad idea to me. If the columns that are defined are defined in Format - Columns, then the only logical way to adjust the columns would be to change them in the same location - not by defining columns in two different ways (via page format too).

I'm not arguing that :) My report is about something different. All I noticed: Columns via Format > Page, safe odt as docx, behaved consistent in the past. Now it is a bit, well.. messy ;)
Dear Cor Nouws, To make sure we're focusing on the bugs that affect our users today, LibreOffice QA is asking bug reporters and confirmers to retest open, confirmed bugs which have not been touched for over a year. There have been thousands of bug fixes and commits since anyone checked on this bug report. During that time, it's possible that the bug has been fixed, or the details of the problem have changed. We'd really appreciate your help in getting confirmation that the bug is still present. If you have time, please do the following: Test to see if the bug is still present with the latest version of LibreOffice from https://www.libreoffice.org/download/ If the bug is present, please leave a comment that includes the information from Help - About LibreOffice. If the bug is NOT present, please set the bug's Status field to RESOLVED-WORKSFORME and leave a comment that includes the information from Help - About LibreOffice. Please DO NOT Update the version field Reply via email (please reply directly on the bug tracker) Set the bug's Status field to RESOLVED - FIXED (this status has a particular meaning that is not appropriate in this case) If you want to do more to help you can test to see if your issue is a REGRESSION. To do so: 1. Download and install oldest version of LibreOffice (usually 3.3 unless your bug pertains to a feature added after 3.3) from https://downloadarchive.documentfoundation.org/libreoffice/old/ 2. Test your bug 3. Leave a comment with your results. 4a. If the bug was present with 3.3 - set version to 'inherited from OOo'; 4b. If the bug was not present in 3.3 - add 'regression' to keyword Feel free to come ask questions or to say hello in our QA chat: https://web.libera.chat/?settings=#libreoffice-qa Thank you for helping us make LibreOffice even better for everyone! Warm Regards, QA Team MassPing-UntouchedBug
Retested with Version: 7.4.3.2 (x64) / LibreOffice Community Build ID: 1048a8393ae2eeec98dff31b5c133c5f1d08b890 CPU threads: 4; OS: Windows 10.0 Build 19045; UI render: Skia/Raster; VCL: win Locale: de-DE (de_DE); UI: en-GB Calc: CL Steps: 1. Open attachment 165981 [details] 2. File contains a section with 2 columns and page style has one column (expected) 3. Save as odt-file => section with 2 columns and page style with one column (expected) 3. Save as docx-file => section with 2 columns and page style with one column (expected) So I can't see the problem described in original bug report => RESOLVED WORKSFORME (please change back to UNCONFIRMED, if you disagree, Cor) Additional information I see the problem, that I can't enter text outside the section. But that might be a different problem.
