Created attachment 172538 [details] Example file from Writer with the problematic block arrows The attached example file contains Writer block arrows that were found to be exported incorrectly to docx: their customization point is missing, there is no way to edit the shapes after export. Steps to reproduce: 1. Open attached example Writer file. The shapes can be edited by the points. 2. Save as .docx, reopen it in Word Actual results: In docx, the shapes customization points are missing. Expected results: Docx shapes should have the points like the original .odt shapes.

Dear NISZ LibreOffice Team, 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
Some shapes are solved in the meantime. Our shapes correspond to the shapes available in binary MS Office. When Word opens such doc and saves it to docx without compatibility checked, the following shapes lose the handles in Word: "Circular Arrow", "4-way Arrow Callout", "Striped Right Arrow", "Up, Right and Down Arrow", "Up and Right Arrow Callout" and "4-way Arrow". So I guess these are hard to convert. Word converts the types "Chevron", "Pentagon", "Notched Right Arrow", "Left and Right Arrow Callout", "Up and Down Arrow Callout". So when someone starts to work on it, it might be better to start with these.
