Created attachment 184478 [details] Example document from Word 2016 Attached example document in Word has some paragraphs where the paragraph end sign has the hidden character attribute enabled. In Word in print mode / hidden formatting marks ("PI off") mode this causes the visible letters of the paragraphs to be visible in the same line. In Writer they are in separate lines. 1. Open attached document in Writer 2. In Options - Writer - Formatting aids make sure to have the Hidden characters enabled 3. Press the PI icon on the Standard toolbar The letters C D E appear in 3 different lines, unlike in Word where they are shown in the same line. This is not an interop issue, as the hidden attributes are imported correctly from docx, but a difference in behavior.

this should work now for paragraph breaks. some observations on Word 2013 behavior for hidden break characters: * list, etc set on paragraph props, paragraph break -> merge * "page break before" set in paragraph props, paragraph break -> no merge, page break * continuous section break -> merge * section break next page -> merge, is effectively continuous section break now * page break in text -> merge, no page break (sw can't do break in text anyway) * cell break hidden for entire row + row break hidden -> row is hidden! * all rows of table hidden -> para before does *not* merge with para below
forgot: * column break -> merge, no column break also: there's an existing code to hide a paragraph completely if all its chars are hidden that's described in: http://www.openoffice.org/specs/writer/hidden_text/hidden_text.sxw but this is not exactly what Word does, Word uses only the paragraph marker formatting to determine if a paragraph is hidden completely.

Bug 131386 is the same for RTF (converting that bugs example RTF to DOCX makes it work after this fix), which does not work yet.
