Created attachment 192176 [details] A footnote with paragraph having a hanging indent The attached document is created from scratch in Word; it has a footnote. The single change of formatting was making footnote's paragraph style to use a hanging indent. In Word, the footnote number is immediately followed by the text. In Writer, it is followed by a space (up to the 0.5" position of the hanging indent), after which the footnote text starts. The problem is caused by the code in SwNumberPortion::Format, which explicitly checks if the portion is a footnote numbering; and then increases the portion's width to the difference between the first line indent and left indent. This check was added in commit 5a42d33f51c7e29ed1f0cefc13458c71aca11060 (INTEGRATION: CWS swqbugfixes05 (1.45.110); FILE MERGED, 2004-09-20) for #i32902#. So it is required, at least for (existing) ODF. Hence, a new compat option is needed (set in Word documents import), which would be checked in the code, too.
