Description: Some text boxes on Microsoft word files are formatted incorrectly due to the Wrap setting on them (default seems to be Page Wrap). This is causing the text boxes to have incorrect formatting and is moving them over other object/text on the document. I'm able to manually fix this issue by selecting the text boxes and changing the wrapping style to "Optimal Page Wrap", but applying this indiscriminately to the whole document causes most pages to go blank and sometimes crashes LibreOffice. At a large scale, we won't be able to tell which text boxes actually need this new wrapping style, and which ones it would format even worse. Libre should be able to handle the correct wrapping style from the word document. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Open included file with LibreOffice. Or Copy/Paste text boxes included on original file (docx) above block of text. Not exactly sure how the text boxes were made on this file, but they seem to be causing issues. I have attached the wrapping settings on another screenshot (text_box_wrapping_settings.png) 2. Upon opening file with LibreOffice the formatting for the text boxes is off and they are moved around/over other text on the page Actual Results: Text boxes are wrapping incorrectly around/over other text and objects on the document. Expected Results: Text box stays formatted how it was in the docx. This can be accomplished by changing the wrap settings on LibreOffice to Optimal Page Wrapping for the text box. Reproducible: Always User Profile Reset: No Additional Info: Libre should have chosen the correct wrapping settings based on the microsoft word file. Be it Optimal Page Wrapping or some other setting.

Actually the document ( at least the minimized ) has 2 problems, the problem with the blue shapes has been reported in bug 138162
Note: shape+table wrap problem is already known as bug #76022 and bug #115625 - this is likely a duplicate.
Dear jake.weilhammer, 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
I suspect this may be fixed when we no longer convert page-wide floating tables into regular tables. (bug 65509)
(In reply to NISZ LibreOffice Team from comment #10) > Note: shape+table wrap problem is already known as bug #76022 Agree. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 76022 ***
The wrap on the textboxes themselves is fine, and always seems to have been. I tested 5.2 and already then they were parallel wrap (called page wrap previously). In MSO 2010, they are "square" "both sides" - i.e. parallel no contour. There are special rules for optimal wrap and these do affect tables, so that is why OP's workaround is effective, even if it isn't accurate. Something similar is seen with regular text wrapping on both side in very little space with parallel, and no wrapping whatsoever with optimal wrap. Since there is a minimal example in this report that doesn't show this, I created a separate bug report for that - bug 155711. So far my contributions to this bug have been terrible. Hopefully I've covered my bases this time... I'm focusing on original_file.docx (minimized) from comment 5. These are not floating tables, so the work done in 7.6 for that is irrelevant here. Since the minimized document focuses on tables slipping underneath wrapping flies, I'll again mark this as a duplicate. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 76022 ***
