Problem description: After editing, saving and closing a .docx-file, most of the text was gone when I reopened the file a few minutes later. I had received a Word 2007 .docx file. I opened it, saved it under a differnt file name, edited for about an hour (review mode, also adding some comments) while frequently saving the file. Finally, I saved it one more time and closed it on my local harddrive. When I reopened the file, all text beyond the first two pages was gone. The paragraphs where still there, but not text. (The second page contains the Table of Contents, which is still there.) The word count shows me that the text is probably gone. Steps to reproduce: I was not able to reproduce the error. However, I remember a similar problem with Open Office several months ago (same machine, then running Ubuntu 10.xx). Current behavior: Text was lost. Expected behavior: The text should not be lost. Platform (if different from the browser): Browser: Mozilla/5.0 (Ubuntu; X11; Linux x86_64; rv:8.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/8.0
@bugzilla@sokolov.eu.org We need your document! What other reports did you check (for example "Bug 36982 - Writer ignores text after Equation in docx"? Please try with a more current version!
No document, so CLOSED
Due to privacy reasons I can not upload the document at the moment. However, I have sent it to Rainer Bielefeld. I don't believe that it is a duplicate of Bug 36982, as I could initially open the document, work on it and save it several times without losing data. The now missing data is not simply hidden, but lost. The file size has shrunk considerably from 44 to 17 KByte. Since I added comments I would have expected the file size to increase.
I got a document that can't be opened by MS WORD VIEWER (damaged document), and LibO / OOo only show first page, TOC and lots of empty pages. That's not a useful sampled document. What we need is an intact document and a step by step instruction how to get the damages (missing contents). Fortunately I was able to create a test kit from an own document. My steps to reproduce with "LibreOffice 3.5.0 RC1 German UI/Locale [Build-ID: b6c8ba5-8c0b455-0b5e650-d7f0dd3-b100c87] on German WIN7 Home Premium (64bit): 0. Download / Unzip attached test kit 1. Open mysample1.odt from LibO Start Center File menu 2. LibO dialog Menu 'File -> Save as - document type "Word 2007 /2010 XML" -> mysample1.docx' 3. Close document 4. reopen document Expected: Same contents as "mysample1.odt" Actual: most contents behind table of contents missing, TOC looks "readonly" MS WORD Viewer will not be able to open the document. @Cédric: Please excuse me for the voluminous sample document. Please feel free to reassign (or reset Assignee to default) if it’s not your area or if provided information is not sufficient. Please set Status to ASSIGNED if you accept this Bug. - Reported with Bug Submission Assistant -

It is not a useful document...yes, one could say that. :-) This is why I attempted to file a bug report. :-) > What we need is an intact document and a > step by step instruction how to get the damages (missing contents). Sorry, I'm not experienced in filing bug reports with software like this. > Fortunately I was able to create a test kit from an own document. Very good, thank you for that extra work!
I have created separate bugreport for problem with Content: Bug 46025 - Writer FILESAVE, FILEOPEN: docx files with "Content" field processed worng
I can not reproduce this behavior, tested using Mac OSX 10.9 with LibreOffice Version: 4.3.0.0.alpha0+ Build ID: a315454f349469923490e4116806ee19263849b8 Exporting as .docx and reopen the same document using LibreOffice -> content behind TOC is preserved. Word for Mac 2011 also can import the saved .docx file. Another "problem" is that LibreOffice doesn't export the 2-column TOC right. It is exported as a 1-column TOC. Looks like an enhancement request to me (just not implemented yet). Marking as RESOLVED WORKSFORME Kind regards, Joren

Today is 2017, and this happens to me too. The file has recorded changes. This has happened twice in two days in a row after I updated to 5.2.5.1 because of this similar bug:https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=104181, but this time there is no error. I always edit it in web view. I have check the path too but there is no recent backup.
