When importing a .doc document, it seems multiple bookmarks are generated, named _RefXXXXXXXX, where XXXXXXXX is a long number (8 or 9 digits). I'm assuming these bookmarks have to do with the targets of references in the original document - but I'm not even sure. Anyway, this doesn't seem right. References are references, bookmarks are bookmarks, and they should not be mixed up. Also, the original references are, more often than not, targeting numbered items/paragraphs, headings, actual bookmarks present in the word document, or other similar targets. In those cases, I don't see how there's any excuse to create artificial bookmarks for the reference targets (and multiple duplicate ones to boot). Seeing this with: Version: 7.4.0.0.alpha0+ / LibreOffice Community Build ID: fb9270b238cba4f36e595c5d7f4d85f6f3f18e1c CPU threads: 4; OS: Linux 5.10; UI render: default; VCL: gtk3 Locale: en-IL (en_IL); UI: en-US ... but actually I had imported the .doc file with an earlier nightly of 7.4.0.0 from several weeks ago.
Please add an example file illustrating the behaviour
Created attachment 179010 [details] Document exhibiting the bug As per @telesto's request, I'm attaching a document with most of its contents removed. The remaining bookmarks (originally there were dozens and dozens) seem to correspond to cross-references and possibly their targets.

The remaining bookmarks (originally there were dozens and > dozens) seem to correspond to cross-references and possibly their targets. The attachment is an .odt file. Can you attach the original .doc? I get it that you might need to sanitise it in MS Office.
Created attachment 184302 [details] Older version in .doc format So, this is probably not the exact origin of the document I've already attached, but - it's almost that. And when we open it in LO we see these arbitrary-number-named ref's.
[Automated Action] NeedInfo-To-Unconfirmed
Confirmed already in 3.5.0. I opened the file in MSO 365 (converted to new format), but I don't know how to see the references. There are no indicators even in the document text that they would exist.
Dear Eyal Rozenberg, 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.
