Description Leandro de Oliveira 2024-01-27 20:02:39 UTC
Description:
After saving a .odt file as .docx I found some bugs:

- Tables loses the bottom spacing information, deleting the space. Even if I retry putting the value again after reopening the file, the space desappears;

- Similar problem occurs with table of contents/index tabular space;

- Similarly and even worst thing happens with text frame. The frame/container turns into a splitted in two partes (graphic shape and a textbox). Also the space under the frame desappears.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a .odt file with a table, a table of contents and a text frame/container

2. Right click on the table and textframe/container and add spaces above the objects. For the table of contents, add some modifications as tab spaces at the struct area.

3. Save the file as .docx.

4. Reopen the .docx files an see the modifications desappears.

Actual Results:
The spaces desappears

Expected Results:
Keep the spaces and the text frame as the original


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: Yes

Additional Info:
Summary:

Saving as docx format makes some objects loses its original settings. Tha objects affected are: tables (bottom space), textframe/container (bottom space) and table of contents (struct settings).

Leandro, thank you for reporting the bug. There is one basic rule for bug reports: One issue - one report! So please split the different problems into several reports. Please also have a look for duplicates. You might find them in meta-bugs:

Bug 104444: DOCX (OOXML) table-related issues
Bug 104461: DOCX (OOXML) frame-related issues
Bug 104524: DOCX (OOXML) Table of Contents (ToC) and Index related issues

If you don't want to create several reports, please decide on which issue this report should focus on. Please make also sure, that it is not a duplicate. Thank you
