I have tested on: * OpenOffice 3.2.1 in Windows XP 32bits * LibreOffice 3.3 final on Windows 7 64bits * LibreOffice 3.3 final on Ubuntu Maverick (using PPA) 64bits Steps to reproduce the bug: * Create a document in Word (in my test, 2000) with: ** more than one page ** the "different first page option" (without inserting a subsection jump) ** a header for first and second page. make it different or you won't see the bug * Open the document in LibreOffice, make a change in the document (add a few return in the first page) and save it in .doc * Open the document in Word: The second page will have the same header as the first one * Open in LibreOffice, same thing Another way to do it: * Create a file in LibreOffice ** more than one page ** F11, than click "First page" as page style ** Save as .doc * Open in Word (in my test, 2007): the second page will lose it's style. In some case, it is possible to only insert a manual page break at the end of the first page the first time you are in LibreOffice. However, this option is not always possible as it might cut a paragraph in two.

Hi Bruno, Thanks for reporting :-) I can confirm the issue - is a very old one too. And not sure if any improvement can be reached simply. If you would like to have a nice work for a dark winter evening: search BugZilla for Writer + page style / word etc etc. I guess there are numerous related/duplicate issues. Alas .. Greetings - Cor
reproducible in 3.5.0 only this: 1.Start Writer 2. Insert title page 3. Change title page to landscape 4. Save to doc 5. verify in Word and in Writer (FILESAVE problem)
Similar problem: Bug 34984 - Saving to .doc format copies first page header onto all others
Added to the new container bug #48741.
works fine now, thanks to the introduction of the property 'Different first page' since LibreOffice 4.0.0
