Created attachment 75118 [details] .doc file to reproduce the problem Steps to reproduce: - open the attached .doc file => page numbers are printed not only at the center of each page (which is correct), but also at the left of each page (which does not happen when opening the file in Word 2011 for Mac).
For some reason, I can't open the document that you have attached. Could you try again? How did you insert page numbers into this document originally? If you can give me a scenario to reproduce the issue, that would be helpful. Thank you.

This is interesting. It seems to me that MS-Word can't see the footer added by LibreOffice Writer. To understand what I mean: 1. Delete the footer: Insert -> Footer- check Default. 2. Insert -> Footer. Here's where you see the page numbers on the left. 3. Insert -> Field -> Page number. Another page number appears. You can center this. As for how there appeared a total of 3 page numbers on the document initially, I can't reproduce. 4. Save as either .docx or .doc. 5. Open with MS-Word. The page numbers on the left of the footer aren't there! I still can't figure out how to get 2 page numbers, but I have verified that when opening the document in Word you can't see some footer text... I'm going to associate this bug as with Bug 40787, so maybe this will help provide that developer with extra information. Thank you for reporting this!

I forgot to add that I tested this using LibreOffice 4.0 on Windows 8.
