Comment 4 Marvin 2025-03-04 19:20:16 UTC

Importing the DOCX file to LO 25.2.1 (Linux Endeavour OS with Gnome 47) show that the section break on page 2 and 3 is not correct.

What do you mean by "incorrect"? If bigger distance from the top, then it looks correct to me in Version: 25.8.0.0.alpha0+ (X86_64) / LibreOffice Community

Comment 6 m_a_riosv 2025-03-04 22:46:10 UTC

I think it is in relation with the 'Aptos' font, which I have not installed, and the substitute font, maybe not the same on Writer and Word.

Comment 7 Marvin 2025-03-05 07:14:01 UTC

The sektion Breaks Arena not correct on Page 2 and 3. Please compare to the PDF.

Comment 8 Marvin 2025-03-05 07:20:19 UTC

On Page 2, in the Header and Foot should be "Abschnitt 2".
Importing in LO shows the wrong Text "Abschnitt 1" in Header anf foot..
