Description suyangzuo 2025-09-03 02:39:59 UTC 
Description:
I have a .docx file, when I open it by Writer, it shows just 1 page.
But when I open it by Word or WPS, it shows 2 page.
I love LibreOffice but this issue prevent me to use it, because I have to be consistent with the rest of my workplace(they all use Word or WPS).

Steps to Reproduce:
1. open .docx file
2. show pages

Actual Results:
Writer showed 2 pages (but Word and WPS showed only 1)

Expected Results:
Writer get same result as Word/WPS when open .doc or .docx.


Reproducible: Always

I don't have the Font available, maybe Calc doesn't make the same substitution as Word.

I reproduced the issue, and went step ahead to compare default page style options on boith programs (Writer, Pages for Mac) and noticed that Writer has different default margins metric than Pages or Word.
Writer defauls are 0.79 inches for all margins = 2.0066 cm
Pages defaults are 2 cm for all margins 

Could this small difference be the root cause of the page number diffs?

Test it changing the margins in Writer, first change
Menu>Tools>Options>LibreOffice Writer>General>Measurement units to cm.
