Created attachment 196327 [details] Screenshot of German 25.2 and English 24.2 UI Open DOCX with footnote in German UI. Expected: footnote number position should be superscript, as in English UI Experienced: footnote number position is normal. Reason: "Footnote Characters" style in German is wrong.
Created attachment 196359 [details] FootnoteSubscript.odt: similar English example when not using "Footnote Characters" char-style LibreOffice has its own idea about needing to consistently format all the footnote characters, so it does that with Tools - Footnote Settings by assigning a character style for all "Anchor in footnote". That style in English is "Footnote Characters". However, in DOC/X formats, that is handled just like any other text, and is simply assigned a character style - potentially different for each entry. To reproduce: 1. open FootnoteSubscript.odt. Notice "Anchor in footnote" is "My footnote character" in 48 pt, purple, subscript. 2.) export as DOCX format (or DOC) 3a.) open in LO: Notice it is now using the default "Footnote characters" 3b.) open in MS Word: Notice that the footnote is 48pt, purple, subscript. This is basically the same thing that is happening for the German document. The applied style format "footnote reference" is mapped to LO "Footnote Characters", but LO's German UI is creating a new char style "Fubnotenzeichen" and applying that to all footnotes.
A really weak solution would be to solve bug 108765.
Actually, it looks like a regression in 24.2.4 from commit 72ea1005b987159a6a59f9379e63321e0b0dd44f Author: Michael Stahl on Mon May 6 15:58:36 2024 +0200 tdf#160402 writerfilter: extend StyleMap with all Word styles

Thanks Justin. I assume this is done, as I see it working in this case.
