Original word document

After editing the MS Word document in LO the Index references become corrupted. When looking at the LO-edited version in Word with invisible symbols on, the extra semicolon is seen

beldmit: do you know, if the issue can be seen with office.com? I can only find how to activate display of formatting marks and with it I can't see any difference after saving your file in LibreOffice and opening it in office.com

I don't know - but the problem is that Index reference stops working despite the visual representation in LO is the same (but has extra bytes in XML representation)

Ok, can you quote the relevant part from the XML inside the file, so we know where to look when trying to find the cause?
