Follow up to bug 37012. The DOCX file (attachment 46479 [details]) contains a footer which looks in Microsoft Word 2003 SP3 as follows: DRAFT 1 Customer’s Initials ______ In LibreOffice 3.5.1.2, the result is: 1 DRAFT Customer’s Initials ______ Position: In MSO, the page number is in a frame and located at the center of the line - sharing the baseline with "DRAFT ...". In LO, the page number is directly in the footer (and not in a frame) and separated from the "DRAFT ..." by a line break. In MSO, the settings frame settings for the page number are: wrapping = around, width = auto, height = auto, horizontal position = center relative to margin, distance from text = 0. Vertical position = 0cm relative to paragraph, distance from text = 0cm. Move with text = true, lock anchor = false.
Same result with 3.5.3.2. If one looks at the file "word/footer2.xml", one sees the following. The first block is in a frame - the second one is the normal foot-note text <w:ftr> <w:p w:rsidR="00DD70C3" w:rsidRDefault="00DD70C3"> <w:pPr> <w:pStyle w:val="Footer"/> <w:framePr w:wrap="around" w:vAnchor="text" w:hAnchor="margin" w:xAlign="center" w:y="1"/> <w:rPr> <w:rStyle w:val="PageNumber"/> <w:rFonts w:ascii="Arial" w:hAnsi="Arial" w:cs="Arial"/> <w:sz w:val="16"/><w:szCs w:val="20"/> </w:rPr> </w:pPr> <w:r> ... </w:r><w:r> <w:rPr> <w:rStyle w:val="PageNumber"/> <w:rFonts w:ascii="Arial" w:hAnsi="Arial" w:cs="Arial"/> <w:sz w:val="16"/><w:szCs w:val="20"/> </w:rPr> <w:instrText xml:space="preserve">PAGE </w:instrText> </w:r> ... </w:p> <w:p w:rsidR="00DD70C3" w:rsidRPr="00867F64" w:rsidRDefault="00DD70C3" w:rsidP="00867F64"> ... <w:r> <w:rPr> <w:rFonts w:ascii="Arial" w:hAnsi="Arial" w:cs="Arial"/><w:b/> <w:sz w:val="16"/><w:szCs w:val="16"/> </w:rPr> <w:t>DRAFT</w:t> </w:r> </w:p> ... </w:ftr>
Confirmed, footers do not look the same. Compared Microsoft Excel 2007 to LibO 3.6.1.2. Marking as NEW and prioritizing. Normal: Can prevent high quality work and/or require not using a major feature (footers). Also, compatibility issues where the document will look different on MS vs. LibO. High: Footers relatively common, professional work requires this and with the growth of .docx this could be a big issue for our business and academic users.
Confirmed in 4.2.
Still REPRODUCIBLE with 4.2.2.1 under Win7x64. NOT reproducible anymore with 4.2.3.1 and later. As the specific commit is unknown, resolwing as WORKSFORME. Thank you for participating in LO improvement!
