Description: This is very difficult for me to explain, but whenever I save a text file in OpenDocument and re-open it, it seems to stop using the fonts, colors, and formatting (such as lists or bold text) that I used. It seems to work okay after I change it back and save the file again, but it's still frustrating to deal with. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Typing something out, then changing the text with fonts, bold, italics, etc. 2. Saving the file, exiting the program 3. Reopening the text file through said program Actual Results: The text stopped using the desired formatting. No bold text, or lists, or the font I wanted to use. Expected Results: Use the formatting I wanted. Reproducible: Always User Profile Reset: No Additional Info: [Information automatically included from LibreOffice] Locale: en-US Module: TextDocument [Information guessed from browser] OS: Windows (All) OS is 64bit: yes
Hi, Christopher, one solution can be to install 25.8.2 version (https://www.libreoffice.org/download/download-libreoffice/?type=win-x86_64&version=25.8.2&lang=en) Another solution, if that one does not work, it to reset your user profile. (<https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/UserProfile>) and re-test?

Tried both of these just now; didn't work.
sounds like "plain text"? please attach a sample file.
Created attachment 203042 [details] Sample text of OpenDocument, of what the formatting is supposed to look like
ok, definitely not a bug. your file is indeed in "plain text", i,e no formattings. please select "Text ODF" to save a proper sample.odt as described for example here: https://help.libreoffice.org/latest/en-US/text/shared/01/01070000.html https://help.libreoffice.org/latest/en-US/text/shared/guide/doc_save.html maybe check also the default file format : https://help.libreoffice.org/latest/en-US/text/shared/optionen/01010200.html#hd_id2016968

I need to save it normally, the re-open the file and only then will I be able to save the file as you described.

Can't confirm this. There might be a problem with your user profile. Could you please test in SafeMode?
