Description: Equations containing formatted text, such as bold or non-italics loose the format when loaded in LO Writer. So, all text in equations becomes italics and non-bold, as is the default for math variables. MS Word allows that formatting but LO Writer ignores it. Such formatting is important sometimes: e.g. for vectors and matrices (often bold and non-italics) or units (usually non-italics. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Create a .docx file containing formatted equations 2. Open it in LO Writer Actual Results: Formatting lost Expected Results: Formatting retained. Reproducible: Always User Profile Reset: No Additional Info: Seems related but not the same as https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=127821 BTW. I thought maybe LO does not support such formatting, but it does. bold{...} -> sets bold "..." -> sets regular text, i.e. non-italics So an equation with this code would do it: bold{"B"} =k bold{"A"} ^ {-1}
Created attachment 199566 [details] Doc with two equations with formatting The first equation should show A and B as bold and non-italics (representing matrices) The second equation should show *mm* as non-italics (being units of millimeters) (As explained before, bold can be obtained with bold{A} and non-italics with "mm". But that is lost when loading.
Please if you are not agreed reopen it. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 127821 ***
Is it solved now? I saw this behavior in the latest release 25.2.1.2. And regarding this being a *duplicate* of Bug 127821, I'm not sure it is the same. That bug is about format lost when *saving the file in LO*, but this one is about losing format when *loading in LO the file created with MS Word*. They are most probably related, any way.
